Why Brentwood homeowners pick Red Stag

Three reasons our outdoor carpentry work is different in Brentwood.

01

Interior-grade finish, outdoor-rated.

Hand-sanded, hand-finished, hidden joinery throughout. Pergolas, planter walls, privacy screens, and bespoke millwork built to interior standards but engineered for outdoor exposure.

02

Coordinated with your landscape.

Carpentry projects are usually one element of a larger yard build. We coordinate with your landscape architect, lighting designer, and irrigation contractor to make the build sequence work.

03

Bespoke, not catalog.

Every project is designed from a sketch — proportions, material, joinery, finish all sized to the specific space. No prefab kits, no cookie-cutter pergola assemblies.

Brentwood build context

What's specific about outdoor carpentry in Brentwood.

Catalog pergola kits look like catalog pergola kits. We design from a sketch — proportions and material chosen for your specific yard, joinery hand-cut, finish hand-applied. Every outdoor carpentry build is bespoke to the space and engineered for LA's UV, humidity, and seasonal swings. In Brentwood specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Old-money LA at its most discreet. North-of-Sunset gates, big lawns, and decades-long family ownership; south of San Vicente reads more as upper-middle traditional family neighborhood. That changes what a outdoor carpentry project looks like — both in spec and in process.

Questions homeowners ask

Outdoor Carpentry in Brentwood — frequently asked

How much does a custom pergola cost in LA?
Modest residential pergolas (10x12, hardwood) start around $14,000. Larger architectural pergolas with structural steel + premium hardwood cladding run $25,000–$65,000 depending on size and integration.
What's the difference between cedar and hardwood for outdoor carpentry?
Cedar is the budget standard — 8–12 year lifespan, weathers to grey, requires annual maintenance. Cumaru / Ipe / Garapa hardwoods last 25+ years, age to deeper tones, and need only periodic oiling. We default to hardwood for any client planning to stay in the home 5+ years.
Do you build privacy screens to neighbor-spec?
Yes. Hardwood privacy screens designed to LA's specific setback and height rules, with optional integrated planters, lighting, and gate access. Typical privacy screen project: 5–9 build days.
Can you match existing architecture?
Yes. Most carpentry projects are integration projects — making a new element read as part of an existing home. We design the joinery, profile, and finish to match your home's architecture, not impose a new style.
