Questions and Answers
What types of materials do you recommend for deck construction in San Rafael's climate?
We recommend using durable hardwoods like IPE and Cumaru ironwoods for decks, as they resist moisture, rot, and insect damage common in the Bay Area's coastal climate. These materials offer longevity and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for San Rafael homes.
How do you handle fence post movement and chain link fence corrosion in San Rafael?
We address fence post movement by setting posts in concrete with proper drainage to prevent soil shifting. For chain link corrosion, we use galvanized or vinyl-coated materials and apply weatherproofing treatments. We also inspect for early signs of rust during repairs to extend the fence's life.
Can you install an automatic gate for a residential property near the San Rafael Civic Center?
Yes, we install automatic gates for homes near the Civic Center and throughout San Rafael. We offer wood-clad mechanical drive gates and metal-framed pedestrian gates, integrating reliable openers and safety sensors. Our team ensures compliance with local codes and collaborates with your landscape designer for a seamless look.
