Questions and Answers
What fence materials do you recommend for La Mesa’s climate?
For La Mesa’s warm, dry summers and mild wet winters, we often recommend redwood and bamboo. These materials naturally resist rot and insect damage. To combat fencing staining deterioration from sun exposure, we apply high-quality weatherproofing stains and sealants. Regular maintenance, like reapplying stain every few years, extends the life of your fence.
Do you build custom gates with Japanese designs?
Yes, we specialize in custom gates with Japanese-inspired designs, often incorporating bamboo and redwood. Dick has been building Japanese gardens since the 1970s. We’ll work with you to create a gate that matches your home’s style and landscape, whether you want a simple entry gate or an elaborate garden feature.
Can you repair an older fence rather than replace it?
Absolutely. We assess the damage and can often repair sections, replace rotten posts, or fix sagging gates. If the fence has minor staining or weathered wood, we can clean and re-stain it. Repair is usually more cost-effective than full replacement, and we’ve never had a client complain about our estimate being too low.
