"I’m thrilled with the work done by Trevor, the rebuilt fence is beautiful and sturdy and looks brand new! Trevor made this process very easy for me and I’m delighted with the results and the installation was top notch! Trevor has a great eye for detail, design and implementation. I’d definitely recommend Trevor for any work, and I will be reaching out to him for my next project."

"If you need a handyman, Carlos Painting and Handyman services are absolutely the way to go! From the first correspondence, Carlos was professional and prompt.  His work (and that of his very capable assistant Luis)  included the following:
  • *installing doorknobs and smoke alarms,
*sealing, priming and painting the outside of our living room and dining room windows, 
*completely redoing a skylight in the kitchen (cleaning, scraping, priming, painting) It's absolutely beautiful and has changed the look and feel of our whole kitchen! 
*installing two light fixtures (this included fixing the wiring in both),
 *painting kitchen cabinets,
*regrouting the kitchen sink,
 *priming and painting the baseboards in the living room, dining room and hallway,
*fixing a water damaged wall
*Priming and painting the trim around the living and dining room windows.
*priming and painting the wall around the living room windows
*removing the carpet in the  large  hallway and cleaning up the hardwood underneath, (gorgeous)
 *taking the paint off of some tiling in the bathroom.
Carlos brought all of the supplies and even went to home depot to pick up some items for projects that I had added to the original list.  Carlos is a perfectionist who takes great pride in his work. 
He is a great listener when you explain what you need and makes valuable suggestions! 
I love walking around the house and seeing all of the wonderful improvements.  If houses could smile, mine would have the biggest around. 
Thank you Carlos, I look forward to our next project !

"IVS built a beautiful new fence + rolling driveway gate in our front yard. Ignacio and his team are true metal and wood craftsman who completed our project on time on and on budget. Regular communication, beautiful work, and clean up were some of the best I've seen compared to past construction projects. Our driveway had a slope, making installing a rolling gate particularly challenging. The gate fits perfectly and the mechanisms are as smooth as butter. I was happy to see that IVS didn't cut corners and installed plenty of rebar in the foundations for the driveway and pedestrian gates, used high quality hardware, etc.. Getting metal posts didn't cost much more and I think we'll be happy for many years and not worry that the posts rot would rot all wood fences eventually do. I will be using IVS for all future fence and gate work."

"I am re-landscaping my yard and had used Nato before for a small project and he did a good job for me so I asked him to bid this project. His price was competitive. He and his crew arrived promptly, completed the job on time and did quality work. I installed some irrigation lines and landscape lighting conduit during their job and I was pretty slow and it delayed them from filling in their trenches. Nato and his crew were very patient and Nato actually helped me at one point since I was such rookie. My landscape architect wanted the drains to be done a certain way and while it was not the usual way Nato did drains he was fine doing it the way that was requested. I would definitely use him again and told him to use me as a reference."

FAQs for projects in Oakland, CA

No, installing a privacy fence isn't rude as long as you respect property boundaries and comply with local regulations. By building the fence entirely on your property and following zoning codes, you're creating a safe space without causing offense. Informing your neighbors before building your fence can also help maintain good relationships.

A privacy fence should be between six and eight feet tall to offer clear privacy and security. This height range provides an effective barrier that meets both design and safety standards. It gives your property a balanced appearance while protecting your space without encroaching on your neighbor's area. Be sure to check your local building codes, as regulations may limit the maximum allowable height.

A professional can install a privacy fence in about 20 to 30 hours, while doing it yourself might take 40 to 50 hours. Factors like obtaining permits, preparing the site, and leveling the ground can affect the installation time. Additional tasks like removing an old fence or dealing with uneven terrain may also extend the project duration.

Yes, horizontal fences are more expensive than vertical ones, but offer enhanced durability and a modern look. Their design often requires more materials and can result in a stronger structure with better resistance to weather conditions. If you're looking for superior longevity and a stylish appearance, the extra investment in a horizontal fence may be worthwhile.

Yes, hiring a land surveyor is important because it confirms your exact property boundaries. This step helps prevent costly encroachment issues and legal disputes by ensuring that your fence is built entirely on your property. An accurate survey guarantees compliance with local zoning laws, facilitates a smooth installation process, and helps maintain good relations with your neighbors.
