Frequently Asked Questions

 Look, every job's different around here—depends on the size, what style you're going for, and yeah, those crazy Bay Area hills that make everything interesting. For fences and gates, we mostly charge by the linear foot, kicking off around $45–$150 based on stuff like redwood or aluminum. Bigger things like decks, gazebos, or retaining walls? Those need a custom quote to get it spot-on. We take a 40% deposit up front for materials and labor to get the ball rolling, and the rest when we're wrapped up and you're happy with the whole thing. Swing by for a free on-site look-see and we'll hash out a real quote—maybe over a quick coffee.

Easy as a Bay Area commute on a good day—we keep it straightforward so you can focus on the fun part, like picturing your new deck at sunset. Kick off with a quick call or email to chat about your vision (fence, gazebo, whatever). We'll swing by for a free site visit to scope the lay of the land—those quirky hills and all. Then, we whip up a one-page invoice that's crystal clear: every cost broken down (materials, labor, the works), plus our terms and conditions that got your back with solid contract protection, no hidden gotchas. Sign off, drop the 40% deposit to snag materials, and our crew gets to hammering—usually wrapping in 1-2 weeks for standard jobs, longer for big builds. Once it's done, we walk through together, tweak if needed, and you pay the balance only when you're stoked. Oh, and every job comes with our 5-year warranty, so you've got peace of mind long after the tools are packed up. Boom, backyard bliss. Got questions mid-way? We're on it like fog on the bridge.

We're Bay Area born and bred—our sweet spot is from SF's foggy streets to the East Bay hills, Peninsula patios, South Bay Area, and Marin slopes. But we'll roll out to any Northern California spot if the project's calling (Sacramento? Tahoe? Why not). Free quotes within 50 miles; beyond that, we chat mileage fees to keep it fair.

We stick to the good stuff: sustainably sourced redwood and cedar for that warm NorCal glow, rust-proof aluminum for low-fuss modern, and galvanized chain link for budget beasts. All our wood's FSC-certified where possible, treated with non-toxic seals to stand up to our wet winters without leaching junk into the soil. No shortcuts, just smart builds that play nice with the earth.

Every job gets our 5-year warranty—covers materials and workmanship, so if something shifts or warps (rare, but hey, earthquakes), we're on it free of charge. Maintenance? Super low-key: Hose off aluminum yearly, seal redwood every couple years to keep it sipping that sun. We'll hook you up with tips post-install.

Keeping it simple and local—we take cash, checks, or Zelle right now, no fancy cards yet (though we're eyeing that for the future). Deposits and balances can be squared up on-site when the crew's wrapping up. Just makes things straightforward, like a neighborhood handshake
