Why Red Stag

Three reasons LA homeowners trust us with their gates.

01

Structural steel core.

Every gate over 8 feet uses a structural steel armature engineered to take 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. The hardwood is cladding — the structure is steel.

02

Hidden hardware, integrated controls.

Pivot, sliding, and bi-fold mechanisms with magnetic latches, biometric or keypad access, and full smart-home integration. No exposed hinges, no surface-mount controllers.

03

Designed to read with the architecture.

Estate gates are an architectural element, not an accessory. We collaborate with your architect (or design from scratch) to make the gate a continuation of the perimeter wall — not a bolt-on.

How we build

What's actually different about a Red Stag gates build.

An estate gate is the first impression of the home. We build pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with structural steel cores, Cumaru or Ipe cladding, and integrated biometric or app-based controls — designed to read as a continuation of your perimeter wall, not a bolt-on. Every gate is engineered for 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. Every gates project we deliver in Los Angeles starts with a free in-home walkthrough where we look at the actual conditions of the site — sun exposure, slope, soil type, prevailing winds, neighbor sightlines, and any existing structure that the build will tie into. The walkthrough takes 45 minutes and the written quote follows within four business hours.

What separates a Red Stag gates build from a generic LA contractor build is what happens before the build even starts. We engineer the substructure for your specific site (not a generic span table), specify materials by microclimate (not by what's on the lumber yard truck this week), and document every detail in the contract before the deposit is invoiced. The result: zero change orders on roughly 92% of our completed projects since 2018.

Pricing reflects the spec, not the markup. Gates projects in Los Angeles fall in a $24,000–$180,000 band depending on size, material, and structural complexity. Hardwood selection (Cumaru, Ipe, or Garapa) drives 30–45% of the variance. Site conditions (hillside, coastal, fire-zone) drive another 20–35%. The remaining variance is finish detailing — hidden hardware, custom rail systems, integrated lighting — which is where most homeowners want optionality.

  • Free in-home walkthrough with a structural assessment, not a sales pitch — typically 45 minutes
  • Written quote inside 4 business hours, line-itemed by material, labor, hardware, permits
  • Permits and HOA submittals included in contract scope (no extra coordination fees)
  • Build sequence locked before any deposit; weekly written progress reports through completion
  • Lifetime craftsmanship warranty on every element we install — boards, posts, hardware, finish

Questions homeowners ask

Custom Driveway Gates — frequently asked

How much does a custom driveway gate cost?
Standard automatic swing gates start around $24,000. Custom pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with hardwood cladding and integrated controls run $45,000–$180,000 depending on size, hardware spec, and structural complexity.
How long does a custom gate build take?
Standard automatic gates: 12–18 build days. Custom pivot gates with structural steel and integrated controls: 24–38 build days, including engineering, fabrication, and electrical coordination.
Do you do biometric and smart-home integration?
Yes. Fingerprint readers, license-plate cameras, Lutron / Control4 / Crestron tie-in, app-based access. We coordinate with your AV / smart-home integrator on day one of design.
Do you handle the electrical and motor work?
Yes. Full turnkey — electrical permits, motor selection, opener install, controller wiring, integration testing. We work with FAAC, BFT, LiftMaster, and CAME systems depending on the spec.
Can the gate match my existing perimeter wall?
Yes. We design the gate to read as a continuation of the wall — same materials, same proportions, same finish. When closed, the gate disappears into the architecture.
