Our work
What we build, up close.
Photos from our own jobs around LA, not all in Los Angeles. House numbers are blurred.
What changes here
The same trades, built for Los Angeles.
Fences & gates
Citywide, the variable is the lot, not the panel. The same fence design gets different post spacing, footing depth, and gate hardware on a flat Mid-City lot than on a canyon parcel — which is why we quote after seeing the property.

Across Los Angeles, flat-lot covers and engineered hillside decks require different structural, access, and permit reviews.
More on decksBlock walls & pillars
Freestanding walls and retaining walls are different structures with different permit paths. Citywide, knowing which one your lot needs is the first step, because it changes the engineering and the cost.

Across the city the substrate decides the system: original stucco, newer smooth-coat, wood trim, and metal require different preparation and compatible coatings.

Who issues permits for work in Los Angeles?
The City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Whether a fence or wall needs a permit depends on its material and height, how tall it may be depends on where it sits on the lot, and a patio cover has its own rules, so the rule for your property is checked before the plan is final.
What does the ground in Los Angeles mean for a build?
Everything from flat urban parcels to canyon and hillside sites. That shapes post depth, footings, drainage and access here, so we see the lot before we price it.
Which parts of Los Angeles do you work in?
We build across Los Angeles, including the Valley, the Eastside, Mid-City, the Westside, and the hillside districts (ZIP Citywide). Nearby, we also build in Hollywood, Culver City, La Crescenta and Playa Vista.
