Three Promises

The reasons most contractor horror stories don't happen here.

We put it all in the contract — because the worst day to find out what's not covered is during a build.

01 — Contract

Fixed-price. Line-itemed.

Every quote is written, locked, and signed. No surprise change orders, no scope creep, no padding for HOA submittals or hillside engineering.

02 — Crew

No subcontractors. Ever.

The crew that quotes you is the crew that builds it — paid hourly, on payroll, with the same incentive as the founder: do it right the first time.

03 — Warranty

Lifetime. In writing.

If anything we built fails — a board, a post, a hinge, a footing — we fix it on our dime, no diagnostic fee, for as long as you own the home.

Why Red Stag

Three reasons LA homeowners trust us with their outdoor builds.

Anyone can promise quality. The proof is what's written into your contract — and what we do when something doesn't go right.

01

Built In-House.

No subcontractors. The crew that quotes you is the crew that builds, finishes, and stands behind the work — for life.

02

Lifetime Warranty.

We back our craftsmanship for as long as you own your home. If our build fails, we fix it. No fine print.

03

Same-Week Start.

Most projects break ground within seven days of contract. No three-month waits, no excuses, no ghosting.

How It Works

Four steps. No surprises.

From "I'm thinking about a fence" to a written contract on your kitchen table — most clients are seven business days in.

"We don't disappear after the deposit clears."

Verifiable Credentials

Licensed by the State of California. In good standing since 2011.

Our CSLB license carries three classifications, which lets us quote, permit, and self-perform every part of an outdoor build — from structure to finish carpentry to plumbing rough-ins. Most fence-and-deck contractors hold none of these.

They built a 180-foot horizontal Cumaru fence around our property in 8 days. The detail work is unbelievable. Worth every penny.

I've worked with three contractors on this house. Red Stag is the only one I'd call again. They show up, they finish, they care.

Designed and built a custom pivot gate for our driveway. The final result looks like it belongs in a magazine. Truly beautiful work.

We interviewed five contractors. Red Stag was the only one who walked the property in actual work boots. Hired them on the spot.

Showed up the day they said. Finished the day they said. The craftsmanship is what every contractor in LA should aspire to.

They sourced specific Ipe boards to color-match an existing deck across the property. Six months in, the new section is indistinguishable.

I'm a designer. I'm picky. They sent shop drawings before fabrication, mocked up the gate at full scale, and adjusted twice without complaint.

Lifetime warranty isn't a sticker on a brochure. They came back two years later when a board cupped from a sprinkler. No charge, no questions.

Questions, Answered

The questions we hear most.

Real questions from real LA homeowners. Real answers — not templated marketing copy.

Most LA hardwood fence projects fall between $75 and $180 per linear foot, fully installed. Premium horizontal Cumaru or Ipe runs higher; standard cedar privacy fencing runs lower. We give a fixed-price written quote after a free in-home walkthrough — no surprise change orders, no padding for HOA submittals.
A 100–200 foot fence runs 5–10 build days once permitted. Hardwood decks under 400 sq ft typically wrap in 7–14 days. We hand you a written schedule before we start and update it weekly. Our average 'first contact to final walkthrough' for fence work is 5–7 weeks, including HOA and permit time.
Most fences under 6 feet on private property don't require a permit, but anything taller, in a hillside zone, or on a corner lot usually does. Decks over 30 inches off grade require permits and engineering. We handle every permit submission, plan check, and inspection ourselves — it's included in the contract price.
Mexican hardwoods — Cumaru, Ipe, and Garapa — are our specialty. They outlast cedar 3-to-1 in LA's climate without composite. We also build with Western Red Cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated SPF when budget or HOA rules require it. Every board is hand-selected for grain and color before it touches your property.
Yes. We've submitted hundreds of architectural review packages across Beverly Hills, Hidden Hills, Bel Air, Calabasas, and Pacific Palisades HOAs. We prepare the drawings, material samples, and elevations your committee needs and we attend the meeting if asked. Approval lead time is typically 2–4 weeks depending on the HOA.
Yes. California State License Board #964664, in good standing since 2011. We carry $2M general liability, full workers' compensation, and a contractor's bond. We provide certificates of insurance to any client or HOA on request, and we're happy to add additional insureds for property managers or estate teams.
Yes. We partner with two lenders that specialize in home improvement financing — fixed-rate terms from 24 to 144 months, no prepayment penalties, soft-pull pre-qualification. Most clients are approved within an hour. We can also work with construction draws on larger backyard renovations if you prefer a traditional bank.
We back our craftsmanship for as long as you own your home. If a board cups, a post leans, a hinge fails, or anything we built doesn't perform — we fix it on our dime, no fine print, no diagnostic fee. Wood is wood and patinas with time, but structural failure is on us, period.
