Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install automatic gates for driveways in San Diego?

Yes, we specialize in automatic gate installation for driveways and side gates. We handle everything from metal frames to wood finishes, and we offer both slide and swing options. Our team works with you on design and ensures the system meets local safety codes.

How do you fix fence posts that become unstable in San Diego’s dry soil?

Dry soil is common here. For repair, we dig out the loose post, pour a wider concrete base with gravel for drainage, and sometimes use metal post anchors for extra stability. For new installations, we recommend setting posts below the frost line—and in San Diego, that means at least 18-24 inches deep with compacted gravel.

Can you repair fences damaged by wildfires or sun exposure?

Absolutely. Wildfire damage often requires replacing charred sections or entire panels. We use fire-resistant materials like steel or composite lumber. For sun-damaged wood, we can sand and refinish with UV-protective stain or replace boards. We also offer weatherproofing treatments to prevent future cracking and fading.
