Select a fence or deck material for a quick planning view. The contractor still needs to match specifications to the property and project.
Fence material
Natural character with broad design flexibility.
Cedar works across privacy, horizontal, picket, and good-neighbor styles. Grade, post details, drainage, ground clearance, fasteners, and finish influence how it ages.

Before work begins in Portland
Confirm the project address, zoning constraints, property lines, and any neighborhood requirements before finalizing the layout.
Check the local rules
Fence: Portland generally does not require a building permit for wood or similar fences up to 7 feet, masonry or concrete fences up to 4 feet, or typical woven-wire and chain-link field fencing up to 8 feet. Pool barriers and other site conditions can change the answer, and zoning rules still apply.
Deck: An uncovered deck generally requires a building permit when its walking surface is more than 30 inches above grade. A lower deck may be exempt when it also stays at least 3 feet from a property line, but zoning and site-specific requirements still apply.
Verify the contractor
Check the Oregon CCB record yourself before signing. It can show current license status, bond and insurance information, workers’ compensation status, and complaint or disciplinary history.

Oregon’s Public Utility Commission says to contact 811 at least two business days before digging. Fence posts and deck footings both count as excavation.
