CBJ Studio - Los Angeles's Professional Fence Builders

Wildfires expose fences to intense heat, smoke, and embers, which can char wood, warp metal, or melt vinyl. Even if a fence doesn't burn completely, the radiant heat can weaken panels and posts. In areas like the Santa Monica Mountains or near Griffith Park, ember storms often land on wooden fences, causing superficial scorching that leads to rot or structural failure over time.

Look for visible signs like blackening or blistering from heat exposure, cracked or splintered wood, loose panels, or gaps that compromise privacy. After a wildfire, even if the fence appears intact, a soft spot when pressed or a lingering smoke smell inside the wood can indicate internal damage. If panels are warped or posts are leaning, replacement may be necessary.

We start with a thorough inspection to assess heat damage and structural integrity. For wooden fences, we offer fence painting or staining to seal and protect remaining wood, and we replace individual damaged panels or entire sections as needed. Our fence installation service uses fire-resistant materials when possible, and we apply protective coatings that help reduce future sun and ember damage. For gates, we also provide automatic or manual gate painting and staining to match the restored fence.
