Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle fence damage from earthquakes in Brentwood?
Given that Brentwood lies in a seismic zone, we reinforce fence posts with deeper footings and flexible brackets to allow for ground movement without cracking the iron. We also use galvanized steel that resists corrosion from coastal moisture, helping prevent discoloration and structural weakness over time.
Can you repaint or weatherproof an existing wrought iron fence that has started to rust?
Yes. For fence painting or staining, we first remove all rust and apply a rust-inhibiting primer. Then we use a high-quality exterior paint or stain that withstands Brentwood’s climate. For weatherproofing, we seal joints and apply a protective coating to extend the fence’s life.
What types of automatic gate systems do you install for residential properties?
We install slide or swing automatic gate operators with safety sensors and backup batteries. Gates are custom-fabricated to match your home’s style, and we handle all wiring and programming. Many Brentwood homeowners choose a keypad or remote access system for convenience.
