"We got bids from four contractors and went with Fence 4 U and are happy we did. Guillermo was awesome. He was friendly, reasonably priced, knowledgeable, on time and did great work quickly. Will definitely hire Fence 4 U for the side fence we'll replace next."

"Nice people, they claim to give a lifetime warranty including resealing seems or any problem at all. They showed up as scheduled, took a bit longer than expected. I was very happy with the way it looked when they were finished. Im still happy with the way it looks. After they left I noticed they had drilled a hole in my concrete walkway and pounded in rebar to mount a gate post but they didn’t plan it right and I believe they called the owner out who decided to put the post in a more suitable place. Unfortunately the cracked concrete with a flush cut piece off rusty rebar remains as an eyesore. After a month or two the gate post on the opposite side began pulling out of the stucco on the side of my garage. I took it apart to find they used cheep plastic anchors so i just went and replaced them with metal concrete anchors myself so its never coming out again. I figured despite the warranty id just get it done. Fast forward to present June 2019 and i noticed that 2 of the base plates of the fence are not fastened to the concrete on one end allowing them to swivel out of place when the neighbors gardener does yard work it pushes them out of place. I contacted Sonrise and was given a date two weeks away that they would show up but they could not give a time. Sounds stupid but fortunately I’m retired and can sit home all day waiting for them to show up because hey what else do i need to do right? never showed up. I emailed again and the Forman called and apologized said he’d be out the following Friday. Never called never showed up. I emailed again and its been a week and a half with no response. so much for that lifetime warranty. I am really happy with the way the fence looks but cutting corners on simple stuff has me a bit confused because when you say lifetime warranty to fix ANYTHING wrong. Well you’d expect no short cuts because then you’d have to come fix the problems ... Unless... you have no plans to fix anything at all. I don’t care to write a review like this but when you jerk a customer around then just ignore them what else is left to do?"

"I'm glad my husband was here since he stopped them from installing the fence in a way that we didn't want. They borrowed his ladder and didn't return it to him. They left it in our neighbors yard. He also had to clean up some of a mess that they left. He was able to work with their supervisor who went out of his way to correct things. The end result is a beautiful fence that all of our neighbors have commented on."

"I was looking for a reliable contractor on a room addition and after long searching I decided to go with Nir and LA Expert Builders. Not only they gave me competitive price, Nir completely understood what I wanted to do and he was available in most acceptable time. I worked with many contractors in the past and I can say that LA Expert Builders are one of the best I worked with, maybe the best. I am fully satisfied with the outcome and would continue to work with this company!"

"It went very well. The crew was very polite and did an excellent job. The job required relocating the shower and camode along with extending the sink and making it a dual sink. Me Murillo was very helpful and professional in coordinating all the aspects of the job. He kept us updated on each step of the project. The final project came out above our expectations. We love it."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in Santa Barbara often balance the desire for privacy with local height limits, which can restrict taller fence designs. Choosing low-maintenance composite materials may mean sacrificing the natural look of wood. Opting for fire-resistant or wind-durable fencing can limit style options. Some materials weather beautifully but require more upkeep, so decisions often weigh long-term maintenance against initial curb appeal and neighborhood fit.

Helpful?

Common habits that reduce fence longevity in Santa Barbara include allowing sprinklers to spray directly on wood or metal, leading to moisture damage. Letting climbing plants grow unchecked can trap moisture and cause decay. Failing to rinse off salt residue on coastal fences accelerates corrosion. Ignoring seasonal cleaning or skipping quick repairs after windstorms can also lead to premature wear and costly fence repairs.

Helpful?

Santa Barbara homeowners often prefer horizontal wood slat fences made from redwood or cedar for a contemporary style, while Spanish-inspired wrought iron remains popular in historic neighborhoods. Integrated lighting, custom gates, and living green walls are trending features. Many opt for earth-tone stains and finishes that complement the coastal landscape, and some choose recycled materials for eco-friendly fence installation that blends with local scenery.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Santa Barbara, knowing your property’s slope, drainage patterns, and soil stability is essential, especially near hillsides. Document sun and wind exposure, proximity to salt air, and the presence of mature landscaping. Understanding neighborhood character and any special zoning or historic district rules will help guide design choices. Mapping underground utilities and irrigation lines ensures safe, efficient fence installation tailored to your property’s unique features.

Helpful?

Before requesting fencing services in Santa Barbara, document your property boundaries using a recent survey, and note any visible utility markers or irrigation lines. Record soil type and slope, especially if your lot is uneven or near a bluff. Gather HOA rules, neighborhood design guidelines, and any special district restrictions. Take photos of existing landscaping, wind exposure, and any mature or protected trees that may affect fence installation.
