5 stars without hesitation. Pacific Gates and Drew did an incredible job from beginning to end…read more This was a very custom project, and I came into it with a specific vision of what I wanted the front of my house to look like. I actually created a rendering of the gate and entrance I had in mind and gave it to Drew. He worked with me through the design process, turned that concept into actual plans and dimensions, and Pacific Gates ultimately built what I had envisioned remarkably closely. Seeing the original design compared with the finished product is pretty incredible. The quality of both the materials and workmanship is excellent. The gate is substantial, beautifully fabricated, and the finished installation completely transformed the front of the house. The proportions, vertical steel design, solid center panel, pedestrian entrance, sliding driveway gate, and overall finish came together exactly the way I hoped they would. The price was also extremely fair, especially considering the amount of custom fabrication, materials, labor, and integration that went into the project. What impressed me just as much as the finished gate was Drew's patience throughout the project. I am very detail-oriented and had a lot of specific ideas about how everything needed to function together. Drew never made me feel like I was asking too much. Any concern I raised, he addressed, and he stayed involved in getting the details right. This also went far beyond simply installing a gate. We created a fully integrated access system where my Ring home controls can operate both the pedestrian gate and the sliding driveway gate, along with a Ring Intercom installation. The pedestrian gate also has a keypad controlling an electric strike, so it can be released either through the keypad or directly through the Ring Home app. The Ring Home app separately controls the rolling driveway gate as well, giving me the elaborate but simple-to-use intercom and access system I wanted, with everything fully integrated in one setup. I separately had a custom address sign and mailbox made specifically for this entrance, and Drew worked with me before I ordered them to make sure the dimensions and placement would integrate properly into the gate they were fabricating. There were a lot of moving pieces between the fabrication, operator, access controls, electrical coordination, pedestrian entrance, intercom, keypad, mailbox, address panel, and the overall architectural design. Drew was willing to work through all of it with me rather than trying to push me toward an easier or more generic solution. That is probably what I appreciate most. Pacific Gates didn't just sell me a gate. They helped me build the entire entrance I had pictured for my home. The finished product looks fantastic, functions exactly the way I wanted it to, and feels like it was designed as part of the house rather than added afterward. I could not be happier with the result. Huge thank you to Drew and the entire Pacific Gates team for the craftsmanship, patience, and effort they put into this project. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a genuinely custom gate and access-control installation.

Brandon reassured me that there are no structural concerns, then took the time to explain how the supports under the house work, and why I might notice uneven places in the flooring. He did not try to sell me on anything, and did not charge me for the consultation. He gave me a ballpark estimate if I ever decide to do optional earthquake bracing, in a no-pressure manner; he was very clear that it's not a necessity.

LICENSE SUSPENDED: Avoid This Contractor: Failed to Comply with CSLB Arbitration Award…read more I am updating this review to warn other homeowners to check the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) records before hiring LA Structural. As of March 2026, their license has been officially suspended due to their failure to comply with a legally binding arbitration award. On October 22, 2024, LA Structural requested and collected full payment for the second contract (permit acquisition for all work listed in the first contract) before any permit-related work began. Note: This is a violation. Despite full payment on November 26, 2024, none of the required permit finalizations occurred as promised, and the contractor stopped all permit-related work. Required tasks--such as coordinating inspections, correcting the soil compaction report rejected by LADBS, and managing final permit approvals--were not performed by LA Structural and were left entirely to me. I spent the following five months working directly with LADBS and city inspectors to complete these tasks. During those five months, I identified two defective areas of work. First, the soil compaction report was rejected due to LA Structural's circumvention of requirements. LA Structural hired a deputy instead of a third-party geotechnical engineer, bypassing the grading inspector's requirement and misleading me as the client after charging an additional fee for this engineer and report in November 2024. Consequently, in February 2025, Inspector Bonvouloir officially rejected the report. Later, Clark Inspections--the subcontractor hired by LA Structural--emailed me stating that LA Structural planned to use their in-house engineer to revise the soil compaction report, again attempting to bypass the requirement. I ultimately had to redo the soil compaction report through a licensed geotechnical engineer and resubmit it, after which it passed the city's review. The second defective work involved the drainage pipe and was documented in the CSLB investigation report. After 13 months of CSLB mediation, investigation, and site inspection, a mandatory arbitration hearing took place on January 22, 2026. The arbitrator ruled in my favor and ordered payment within 30 days. LA Structural failed to comply, resulting in their current license suspension. Notably, prior to the issuance of the stipulated arbitration award letter, the contractor repeatedly attempted to have me sign his own private settlement agreement--non-CSLB documents with terms that went beyond what had been agreed upon at the hearing. Don't sign it! I later learned that this is a common tactic contractors use to remove CSLB from the matter. Per CSLB instruction, I filed a claim with their bond company, Jet Insurance, to recover the awarded payment. Despite their written commitment on February 11, 2026, to issue payment if the contractor failed to meet the CSLB deadline, Jet Insurance instead extended the deadline to March 27, 2026, stating that "the contractor intends to make payment by this week." LA Structural failed to meet this extended deadline as well. On March 30, 2026, I received an email from Jet Insurance stating, "Attached is the Final Release and Assignment of Claim agreement, relating to the claim...In order to issue payment for this claim, Jet Insurance Company requires the attached agreement to be reviewed, physically signed and all pages returned." It has taken 16 months to recover my funds for their abandoned and defective work since their collection of full payment. Based on my understanding, when a bond company pays out a claim, the contractor's license remains suspended until specific legal and financial requirements are met for reinstatement.
