Moderna Gates and Fences - Los Angeles's Expert Fence Installation

In coastal areas like Santa Monica or Venice, salt air and intense sun can cause stain to deteriorate quickly. We use high-quality, UV-resistant semi-transparent stains that penetrate deep into the wood and add a water-repellent sealer. Before staining, we thoroughly clean and sand the fence to ensure proper adhesion. This approach typically extends the life of the finish to three to four years with minimal maintenance.

Costs vary based on gate size, material, and motor type. For a standard single driveway with a swing gate, you can expect to invest between $2,500 and $4,500. That includes the gate, slide or swing operator, safety sensors, and installation. Moderna Green Builders offers free estimates and can provide an exact quote after measuring your driveway and discussing your preferred material, such as wrought iron or aluminum.

Yes, leaning fences are common on sloped properties like those in the Hollywood Hills. We assess whether the posts are rotted or if the soil has shifted. Often we can reinforce existing posts with concrete footings or replace them with galvanized steel posts for better stability. We also check for proper drainage to prevent future movement. After repairs, we weatherproof the fence to withstand Los Angeles dry summers and occasional rain.
