Decks
Composite & Wood Deck Building
Composite and natural wood decks, built on a frame designed for the span and the slope.
Deck quality is decided underneath, where nobody looks. Joist spacing, flashing at the ledger, and drainage are what separate a deck that lasts twenty-five years from one that feels soft in eight.
Composite costs more up front and less over its life. On a shaded north-facing deck, Wood still makes sense. We'll tell you which situation you're in.
Every estimate includes demolition and haul-away of the existing structure, and a written itemised price you can compare line by line against other bids.

What's different about how we do it
Details that decide whether it lasts
Ledger flashed properly
The single most common cause of deck failure and rot at the house wall. It gets done right or the deck is freestanding.
Framing sized to span
Joist spacing follows the actual span and the decking manufacturer's spec, including the tighter spacing Composite needs on a diagonal.
Hidden fasteners available
A clean surface with no visible screw pattern.
Integrated railing
Cable, glass, Aluminum or Composite railing designed with the deck instead of added after.
Materials
Four lines, so the recommendation can follow the property
Vinyl, Aluminum, Composite and Wood. Each has a job it does better than the others — and one it does badly.

LA Fence Craft designed and installed my new fence and gate. They did a beautiful job, cleaned up the job site and even spent time polishing the fence and gate. I couldn't recommend them more.
This is the second job I've had done by LA Fence Craft. From the detailed written estimate to the final clean up, they know how to get it done. I can't recommend them enough.
We hired LA Fence Craft to replace our old wooden fence. Very professional, excellent work, very clean. They even came on Sunday to make sure the job was done perfectly before our inspection.
How much does a new fence cost in the Los Angeles area?
Price is driven by three things: linear footage, material, and how much demolition and haul-away the old fence needs. Wood is the least expensive per foot and Vinyl and Aluminum sit above it, with Composite typically highest. Slope, hard digging in decomposed granite, and gates all add cost. We give a written, itemised price after measuring on site — not a per-foot guess over the phone.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
It depends on height and location on the lot, and the rules vary between cities and even between parcels. Rear and side yard fencing at standard residential height is often exempt, while taller fencing, street-facing fencing, and anything structural like a patio cover more often is not. Los Angeles also has designated Fence Height Districts that change what's allowed. We check your parcel before you sign.
How long does installation take?
A typical residential fence replacement is one to two days on site once materials are in. Custom gates, automation, patio covers and decks run longer. Lead time on materials is usually the bigger variable, and we give you a date range in writing with the estimate.
Do you handle the demolition of my old fence?
Yes. Removal, haul-away and disposal of the existing fence are included in the quote unless you tell us you want to keep it. There's no separate disposal charge added at the end.
