• We use only rot-resistant woods and premium quality hardware to ensure your fence remains strong and stable for years.

Permit Application

• We are well-versed in El Cajon building codes and maintain an excellent relationship with local permitting offices.

Fence Layout and Staking

• Our team will arrive onsite to mark fence lines and gate locations using stakes and string lines. This allows you to preview the footprint of your new fence prior to installation day.
• Slight adjustments can be made to the layout at this stage to ensure you get the enclosure size and placement that works best for your property.

Installation Day

• On the big installation day, our professional fencing crew will arrive with all the necessary tools and equipment to efficiently erect your wood fence.
• We take great care to protect your landscaping and yard during the build process. Our clean-up standards are second to none.
• For large fences, the build may take 2-3 days depending on length. We will keep you updated throughout the installation and answer any questions that arise.

Gates and Hardware

• We construct sturdy gate frames from quality lumber and hang them with heavy-duty hinges to ensure proper functionality for years to come.
• All gates include secure gate hardware – latch sets, drop rods, gate stops. Upgrades like automatic openers are available.
• For double gates, we include drop rods to secure the inactive leaf and prevent sagging. Proper gate installation is key.

Post Holes and Fence Posts

• We dig precisely spaced post holes using an auger drill to reach required depth based on fence height. Holes are deeper in areas with loose soil.
• Fence posts are set in concrete to prevent loosening, angling or wobbling. We allow adequate curing time before installing pickets.
• Metal post anchors provide added stability between posts and concrete. Signs of a quality build.

Picket Installation

• With the posts solidly in place, we start affixing pickets using sturdy galvanized nails driven into each rail. Spacing is consistent across the entire fence.
• Where needed, pickets are trimmed to fit the slope of your terrain.Attention to detail is what sets our work apart.
• The result is an incredibly stable, secure wood fence that looks fantastic on your property for decades.

Sanding, Staining and Protection (Optional)

• For enhanced aesthetics and longevity, consider having your wood fence sanded and stained by our professionals. This adds a beautiful uniform finish.
• Multiple stain color options are available to match your home. We will apply 2-3 coats for maximum protection and optimal visual appeal.
• Clear treatments can also be applied to fortify the woods against moisture, decay, and insect damage without changing the natural look.
