Question Answers
My fence posts are wobbling because the soil is so dry in Berkeley. Can you fix that without replacing the whole fence?
Yes. Dry Berkeley soil can cause fence posts to loosen over time. We often repair unstable posts by resetting them with a wider concrete base or using gravel and compacted soil to improve drainage and stability. If the panel itself is damaged, we can replace just that section rather than the entire fence, saving you money and time.
Do you handle automatic gate installation for a driveway near the UC Berkeley campus?
Absolutely. We install automatic gates for residential and commercial properties, including driveways near UC Berkeley, downtown, and the Berkeley hills. Our team can set up slide, swing, or cantilever gates with proper wiring and safety sensors. We also offer manual gate installation if you prefer a simpler setup.
I'm thinking about adding an ADU behind my house in the Elmwood neighborhood. What’s your process for that?
We handle ADU construction from start to finish, from design and permitting to framing and finishing. In neighborhoods like Elmwood and North Berkeley, we’re used to working with tight lots and zoning requirements. We’ll coordinate with the city and any subcontractors needed for plumbing, electrical, and foundation work to get your project done right.
