Question Answers
What types of fence materials do you recommend for Santa Monica's coastal climate?
Santa Monica's coastal environment can cause rust, rot, and fading. We recommend weather-resistant materials like treated wood, powder-coated wrought iron, or galvanized chain link. For wood fences, we apply high-quality stains and sealants to protect against moisture and salt air. Wrought iron should be coated in rust-resistant paint, and we also offer composite materials that mimic wood without the maintenance. Our team assesses your property's specific exposure and recommends the best solution for durability.
Why is it important to use a licensed contractor for gate repairs in Santa Monica?
Santa Monica requires permits and licensed contractors for structural and electrical gate work, especially automatic gates. Attempting DIY repairs or hiring unlicensed workers can lead to safety hazards, code violations, and voided warranties. As the city's official fence contractor, Burkhardt Custom ensures all repairs—from broken hinges to malfunctioning operators—meet local regulations. We handle inspection-ready work that prioritizes safety and compliance.
Do you offer custom designs for upscale properties in neighborhoods like the Santa Monica Hills?
Yes, we specialize in architectural fence and gate designs for high-end homes and commercial properties. Our team collaborates with homeowners and architects to create unique solutions that complement the property's style while providing security and privacy. Whether you need a motorized gate with access control or a decorative wrought iron fence, we craft custom pieces using premium materials. Our portfolio includes projects in Santa Monica Hills, Ocean Park, and the Wilshire-Montana area.
