Fence Installation in Malibu

A new fence install is a permitting + design + build project, not just a build project. We handle survey verification, neighbor coordination, HOA submission, and city permits as part of the contract. The build itself is the easy part — getting to the build cleanly is what most contractors get wrong. In Malibu specifically, the build context shifts: 27 miles of Pacific Coast Highway frontage, oceanfront estates from $4M cottages to $80M compounds, and a permit climate dominated by the California Coastal Commission. Malibu's coastal microclimate (salt-laden marine layer 200+ days a year) calls for salt-grade hardware on every fence installation we deliver here. We default to 316 stainless throughout for any project within 1 mile of the water.

Architecture in Malibu runs mid-century glass-and-steel oceanfronts, and our fence installation work is calibrated to read with that vocabulary. We default to Cumaru or Ipe with marine-grade fastening, with Garapa or cedar-with-Cumaru-cap as common budget alternatives. Pre-build coordination is the differentiator. We resolve setback and easement questions before the contract is signed, not after the posts are dug.
