I am very picky about making sure each project is an excellent, top quality job.
For example: There are many builders who can build you a decent fence and an okay gate that will hold up for 5 to 15 years. But there are only a few of us that will build you a great fence and a great gate that will endure for decades! Please ask yourself which of these two are you really shopping for?
While the bigger companies rush through with a crew in the haphazard race to get your check, I prefer to work with one or two helpers, take my time and make sure it's good enough to be at my place. And, I want YOUR project on this page too. I can build your project if it's within the Greater Los Angeles Area. I'm also available for special out-of-town projects if you're coming up empty-handed locally and possess the wherewithal to make special arrangements!
Redwood is a popular choice of lumber for fence construction. You may visit the
California Redwood Association website to learn more about this wonderful wood, its uses, properties and many grades. Or you may save time by going straight to the
Redwood Lumber Grades and Uses legend within the site.
Depending on budget and application other lumber may be more appropriate for your project or different components thereof. Woods such as Cedar, Douglas Fir, Pressure Treated Douglas Fir (PTDF), Mangaris, Ipe and others offer a rather wide range of design possibilities!
If you'd
like to add years to the life expectancy and enjoyment of your outdoor wood
projects, I recommend having your new wood project treated with a high quality wood stain & sealer!
I believe it's worthwhile to use a superior quality stain & sealer that will preserve the beauty and integrity of your new wood project for as long as possible; compared to cheaper brands of stain.
Not all stains are equal, some are much better than others.
If you research this brand of stain you will find out what I found out.
PENOFIN brand stain is among the best that money can buy. This is the brand that I normally use; this is the brand that I recommend.
