Meet the Team
A & H Sullivan Construction, owned by Henry Sullivan, has been serving San Diego since 2021 with a focus on exterior carpentry. Henry's background as a lead carpenter for a custom treehouse company in the Bay Area taught him precision and durability, which he applies to every project. Specializing in custom fences, gates, decks, railings, cable railings, pergolas, patio covers, fence wall toppers, treehouses, and sheds, we handle both new construction and repairs. San Diego's dry soil and wildfire risk are common challenges for fences and gates. We combat fence post instability by using deep-set posts with concrete footings and steel brackets to anchor them in dry, shifting soils. For wildfire exposure, we recommend materials like metal, composite, or fire-treated wood for fences and gates, and we ensure proper clearance around structures. Our work can be found in neighborhoods such as La Jolla, Pacific Beach, North Park, and near landmarks like Balboa Park and Mission Bay. Whether it's a new deck for entertaining or repairing a fence damaged by wind, we provide free in-person estimates and practical solutions that last.
Questions and Answers
How does A & H Sullivan Construction address fence post instability caused by San Diego's dry soil?
Dry soil can cause fence posts to shift or lean over time. We dig deeper post holes—typically 24 to 30 inches—and use concrete footings with rebar or steel brackets to lock the posts in place. For areas prone to erosion, we add gravel at the base for drainage. This approach keeps your fence stable even during dry spells or after heavy rains.
What types of deck materials do you recommend for San Diego's climate?
We suggest composite decking and aluminum or powder-coated steel for framing because they resist warping, rot, and termites. For a natural look, we use pressure-treated pine or cedar with proper sealants. If you want a low-maintenance option, PVC decking holds up well against sun and salt air. We can help you choose based on your budget and style.
Can you install automatic gates for residential properties in San Diego?
Yes, we install manual and automatic gates for driveways and walkways. Automatic gates can be sliding or swinging, and we integrate them with keypads, remote controls, or intercom systems. We also handle repairs and weatherproofing to ensure smooth operation year-round, even in coastal areas where salt can affect hardware.
