Gate Installation in Hollywood Hills

A gate install is six trades: structural steel fabrication, hardwood carpentry, electrical, motor / controller, smart-home integration, and finish. We do all of them in-house except the steel fab, which we coordinate with one of two LA fabricators we've worked with for over a decade. One contract, one PM, one delivery date. In Hollywood Hills specifically, the build context shifts: View-driven hillside market. Hollywood Hills's fire-zone classification means every gate installation we deliver here uses fire-hardened detailing — Class A roofing-rated specs where applicable, ember-blocked perimeter detailing, and intumescent finishes on coverage that triggers VHFHSZ requirements.

Architecture in Hollywood Hills runs mid-century cantilever (lautner / schindler / neutra survivors), and our gate installation work is calibrated to read with that vocabulary. We default to Cumaru or Ipe with fire-hardened detailing, with Garapa or cedar-with-Cumaru-cap as common budget alternatives. Most gate installs are sub-contractor coordination problems. We've eliminated that by doing the carpentry, electrical, and integration ourselves and using established steel partners.
