Why San Marino homeowners pick Red Stag
Three reasons our outdoor carpentry work is different in San Marino.
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.
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.
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.
San Marino build context
What's specific about outdoor carpentry in San Marino.

Every outdoor carpentry build is bespoke to the space and engineered for LA's UV, humidity, and seasonal swings. In San Marino specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. One of the most carefully curated municipalities in California. 4-square-mile city, every street tree is municipally maintained, no commercial businesses, design review on essentially everything. That changes what a outdoor carpentry project looks like — both in spec and in process.
