Licensed Fence Contractor Serving Pasadena & Surrounding Areas

Costs vary depending on materials, size, and labor. We can provide a free estimate after reviewing your property.

Popular options include wood, vinyl, metal, chain link, and composite materials. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each.

Most residential fence projects take 1–3 days once materials are on-site and the layout is confirmed. Longer timelines happen with large yards, steep slopes, extensive demo, custom gates, or if permits/HOA approval are required.

Sometimes, yes. Permit requirements depend on the fence height, its location on the property (front, side, or rear yard), and local city regulations. In Monterey Park and many other Los Angeles cities, fence height limits are clearly defined in the municipal code.

If you are replacing an existing fence with the same height and in the same location, a permit is usually not required. We help homeowners confirm this and guide them through any necessary steps before installation.

Yes — for safety, utility locating is an important step before excavation where applicable.

The biggest causes are shallow posts, weak framing, or poor gate geometry. We focus on correct post depth, proper concrete setting, straight layout lines, and strong framing at gates/openings.

Gates sag when hinges aren’t aligned, posts move, or the frame isn’t rigid. The fix is usually a stronger frame (metal frame is best), correct hinge placement, and solid posts.

Yes — including modern metal-framed gates with wood/composite infill, privacy aluminum gates, and driveway gates depending on design and site conditions

Yes — we can prep gates for smart locks/keypads and recommend hardware that fits the gate type and exposure.

Wood typically needs periodic sealing/staining/painting because of sun exposure and weather swings. A maintenance plan can significantly extend appearance and lifespan.

To build a durable wooden fence, we recommend using redwood for the frame. Redwood is naturally strong, moisture-resistant, and far more durable than pressure-treated lumber, which is usually made from softer fir wood.

While pressure-treated wood helps protect against termites, it does not fully prevent rot over time. Redwood, on the other hand, offers better stability, resists warping, and holds up much longer in outdoor conditions.

For maximum durability, we also apply a high-quality protective sealant after installation. This combination ensures a strong, long-lasting fence with excellent appearance and performance.

We use Behr stain, which has proven to be one of the most reliable and long-lasting products available. It seals, waterproofs, and protects the wood in a single application, helping extend the life of the fence while maintaining a clean, even finish.

Over the years, we’ve tested many different products — from budget options to premium brands — and Behr has consistently delivered the best overall results. It provides excellent protection while preserving the natural look of the wood. The stain is available in solid, semi-transparent, and transparent finishes, allowing flexibility depending on the desired appearance.

Based on our long-term experience, this product offers the best balance of durability, appearance, and reliability.

Usually yes. Bring photos (or we can match on-site) and we’ll propose a design that blends with your property.

Best prep:

• Confirm property line decisions
  
  
• Remove items along the fence line
  
  
• Ensure access to yard
  
  
• Identify sprinklers/drip lines near post locations

Pasadena’s fence height limits vary by yard location (front/side/rear) and zoning. The city code includes specific limits for side/rear sections of a lot.  If you tell us your address (or we visit), we can confirm what’s allowed and design the fence to match code.

Post depth depends on fence height, soil conditions, and wind exposure. In most cases, fence posts are set 24–36 inches deep in concrete, which provides strong structural support and long-term stability.

This depth is typically sufficient to withstand wind loads of up to 120 mph, which is especially important in the San Gabriel Valley due to Santa Ana winds. Site conditions such as slope, soil type, or nearby roots may require adjustments, but proper depth is key to preventing movement or leaning over time.

Yes — for most standard installations, fence posts are set in concrete to ensure long-term stability. We also plan proper drainage so the posts don’t sit in standing water.

If you already have an existing concrete slab, aluminum, vinyl, or composite fencing can often be installed directly on top using rebar anchors. In this case, the posts are secured into the concrete and then filled internally for added strength. This is one of the cleanest and most durable installation methods, especially for properties with finished walkways or driveways.

Yes, we install fences on sloped properties all the time. There are two main methods: racked fencing, which follows the natural slope of the ground, and stepped fencing, which uses level sections.

In most cases, we prefer the racked method because it follows the terrain smoothly and creates a cleaner, more natural look. However, depending on the slope, fence style, and local requirements, a stepped installation may be the better or only option.

We evaluate the slope, layout, and overall design on site and recommend the best solution for your property.

We can install based on your existing markers and layout decisions, but only a licensed survey can definitively establish property lines. If there’s any dispute risk, we recommend confirming boundaries before building.

When a fence is shared between neighbors, clear communication is key. In many cases, a simple verbal agreement between both sides is enough to move forward smoothly.

We always recommend discussing fence placement in advance, especially when the fence is close to the property line. This helps avoid misunderstandings in the future — for example, if the neighboring property is sold or ownership changes.

Our team takes extra care to respect both properties during installation. Even if only one side is moving forward with the project, we make sure the neighboring side is kept clean, undamaged, and visually neat throughout the process.

Our goal is simple:
to deliver a high-quality fence while maintaining good relationships between neighbors and protecting everyone’s property value.

Yes — we offer demo and haul-away. We also handle post footing removal if needed (or we can cut below grade depending on site goals).

We aim to minimize impact, but fence work involves digging/post holes. We plan access routes, protect key plants when possible, and keep the site clean.

The process for installing a new fence generally involves several
steps. It begins with an initial consultation to discuss your needs,
preferences, and budget. Our company will then communicate with the
local planning department to understand city regulations and obtain any
necessary approvals. After that, we’ll prepare the site by clearing debris
and marking property lines. Finally, we’ll proceed with the installation of
the fence according to the chosen design and materials.

Absolutely! We offer a range of styles, materials, and finishes to suit your preferences.

We use techniques like stepped or contoured fencing to ensure a level and secure installation on sloped areas.

Material lifespans vary by product quality and maintenance:

• Composite: commonly 30+ years with low maintenance
  
  
• Vinyl: often 20–30 years
  
  
• Cedar/wood: often around 15–20 years depending on care
• Aluminum: can last 50+ years (good coatings + proper install)

Yes. Composite fencing is one of the best modern fencing solutions available. It’s made from durable composite boards with an aluminum frame, so it won’t rot, warp, or sag over time. Compared to vinyl, pricing is similar, but composite offers greater strength, stability, and long-term performance — making it one of the smartest choices today.

Yes — we provide a workmanship warranty and also pass along manufacturer warranties on materials where applicable.

Yes — free on-site estimate, measurement, and design guidance.

We serve Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley, plus many surrounding LA areas (South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, Monterey Park, and more).

Maintenance varies by material. We’ll guide you on how to care for your fence, whether it’s cleaning, staining, or repairs.

Yes, we can install custom gates to match your fence, including manual or automated options.

Often yes — especially privacy and curb-appeal upgrades. Many Pasadena homeowners prioritize outdoor space, privacy, and clean modern gates/fencing, which can improve perceived value and marketability.

Yes, we can discuss payment plans to suit your budget.

We’ll make sure that the fence is built within your property lines and advise you on proper neighborly etiquette for fence installation.

Yes, we are familiar with HOA guidelines and can work with you to ensure your fence complies with all rules.

We recommend clearing the area of any obstacles such as furniture, plants, or debris. We’ll take care of the rest.

Before digging, we’ll contact local utility companies to mark underground lines, ensuring a safe installation.

It depends on what you care about most:

• Wood: classic look, needs sealing/stain/paint
  
  
• Vinyl: low maintenance, clean look
  
  
• Composite: premium modern, low maintenance
  
  
• Aluminum: strong, clean, great for modern privacy/semi-privacy designs
  We’ll recommend the best fit for your style, sun exposure, and budget.
