Why Encino homeowners pick Red Stag

Three reasons our backyard improvements work is different in Encino.

01

One in-house crew, one schedule.

We do the deck, the fence, the gate, the carpentry, and the finish carpentry. One crew, one PM, one written schedule. No subcontractor coordination problems, no sequence-induced delays.

02

Coordinated with pool, hardscape, landscape.

Most backyard transformations involve four trades: pool, hardscape, landscape, carpentry. We coordinate with your other contractors so the sequence works — fences after pool deck, decks after pool plumbing, gates after grade.

03

Single-contract, fixed-price.

One contract, one price. Every element line-itemed. No mid-build surprises, no allowance overages, no scope-creep change orders.
