They come to your house, remove the items, then bring them back when done. We had a delivery lead named Indy who was so thorough and prepared. And they are very communicative throughout the process. They let us know where we had minor wear to fabric and even installed caps to keep the legs of the items elevated and off the ground (and off water!). Our furniture looks like it's brand new which is a real testament to their work because it was looking pretty tired. If you have teak wood furniture, teak master is your go-to!

The team arrived on time, finished the job in two days, and left our deck looking beautiful!read more

They did an amazing job!!! Wish I could give 10 stars!! If you're looking for quality work then this is your guy.

They completed this job efficiently as well. I found this family owned business trustworthy and will continue recommending their services to friends and family.

They finished in the time they promised and didn't even hesitate or push back when I asked them to address some minor details about the fence. They're professional, knowledgeable, communicative - everything you want in a contractor but usually can't find all at once. Highly recommend if you want a deck done right the first time.

The crew that did the demolition and construction were excellent. They took out everything, including the footers and poured new footers. All of the wood under the deck was pressure treated. We went with TimberTech material for the new deck. The construction crew was very experienced and meticulous in laying out and building the new deck. Everything is straight, well spaced and level. There was nothing they did that I felt could be done better. I would recommend the work crew very highly. The quality of their work was exceptional. The only issue we had was with communications from the office. We occasionally had problems finding out if the crew was going to work on a particular day, or if they were waiting for material (for example). All-in-all, a good experience and a good deck.

The finished job looked beautiful and well built. There were minor details that I wanted fixed and Shay had it fixed next day. It was amazing. As for the cost, it was comparable to other competitors. We saw Shay and his team had proof of work. Shay took us to one of his other renovation projects and that house was beautiful. Even after the job is done, Shay does not ghost you.

Torrance Fence checks every box. From the very beginning, Gago was incredibly helpful in guiding the design process and making sure the new fence blended beautifully with the existing layout. He stayed in communication throughout the project and made sure his foreman, Art, understood my vision, the unique challenges of the property, and the results I was hoping to achieve. Art was genuine, funny, and an absolute pleasure to work with. It was obvious that he truly cared about delivering the best possible outcome. His crewman, Angel, lived up to his name--kind, hardworking, and professional. Together, they worked harder than any crew I've encountered on a home project. They had a long distance to haul materials, endured sweltering temperatures, and never once complained. I treated them to lunch both days, and their sincere gratitude touched me. Their work ethic and positive attitude were remarkable. The finished product was flawless. My client commented that the new fence was a tremendous upgrade to the property. In fact, I'll be looking for opportunities to send more business their way because crews like this deserve to be rewarded with more work. Thank you, Gago, Art, and Angel, for making my job easier and for delivering such an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Torrance Fence!

Before fabrication, I asked that the design be clearly documented because this is a custom staircase. My request was simply to have the final design, post locations, mounting method, wood profile, and other critical details documented either in the renderings, shop drawings, or contract so there would be no misunderstandings during fabrication. Instead of working through those requests, I was told that providing that level of documentation would add approximately $2,500 to the project and that SoCal Stairs would no longer move forward with my project due to workload and the amount of detail I requested. Everyone has different expectations, but for a custom project of this size, I believe asking for clear documentation before fabrication is reasonable. I appreciate that they chose to decline the project before work began rather than after fabrication, but I was disappointed that after asking me to give them a second chance, they ultimately decided not to proceed because I wanted the design documented in writing.
