Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle fence post instability from dry soil in San Pedro?

Dry soil can cause fence posts to loosen over time. We address this by digging deeper post holes—typically 24 to 36 inches—and using concrete footings that extend below the dry layer. For areas near the coast, we also use galvanized steel posts and stainless steel hardware to resist corrosion. This approach keeps your fence stable even during dry spells.

What types of automatic gate systems do you install?

We install sliding, swing, and cantilever automatic gates for residential and commercial properties. Our systems include keypads, remote controls, intercoms, and safety sensors. As an LA City Certified Welder, we ensure all installations comply with Los Angeles County building and safety codes.

Can you repair and repaint an existing iron fence?

Yes, we offer fence repair and painting or staining for all metal types. For iron fences, we first sandblast to remove rust and old paint, then apply a primer and a durable topcoat. If any sections are damaged, we weld in new pieces to match your existing design. This service extends the life of your fence and improves its appearance.
