From a classic cedar fence in Santa Barbara to steel security gates for a commercial site to barbed-wire runs across a Santa Ynez ranch, every project starts with a conversation and ends with something built for exactly how you'll use it. We're a licensed and insured local crew (CA License #1082932) serving the South Coast from Carpinteria to Goleta and the Santa Ynez Valley — and we're authorized installers for Trex Fencing and QuickScreen Aluminum.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a fence, gate, or deck cost?
It depends on size, material, terrain, and gates — which is why we start every project with a free on-site consultation and give you a clear, itemized quote before any work begins. No surprises is the whole point.
Do you handle permits?
We check the permit requirements for your specific property and project as part of the design process — many standard fences don't need one, and when a project does, we'll tell you exactly what's involved.
What areas do you serve?
The Santa Barbara South Coast — Santa Barbara, Montecito, Hope Ranch, Summerland, Carpinteria, and Goleta — plus the Santa Ynez Valley: Santa Ynez, Solvang, Buellton, and Los Olivos.
Can you match or extend an existing fence?
Usually, yes. Because we build custom rather than from prefab panels, we can match board profiles, heights, and stain colors — whether you're extending a run or replacing a damaged section.
