Ace Fence Company

What Ace Fence Company does

Ace Fence Company is a Southern California specialty fencing contractor founded in 1949, headquartered at 727 Glendora Ave., La Puente, CA, with 101-250 employees. The firm provides installation of guardrails (metal beam guardrail systems, end terminals, crash cushions, thrie beam median barriers), chain link fences, ornamental iron fences, security fencing (automated entry, bollards, electrified fencing, turnstiles, vehicle barriers), environmental fences (wildlife and habitat barriers, sound walls, silt and snow fences), railings (bridge, tube, cable, ornamental), parks and recreation fencing, and custom fabrications. The underlying technology combines conventional fence construction with specialized capabilities including WIDS (WaySide Intrusion Detection System) integration, custom ornamental iron fabrication (e.g., 25-foot diameter bicycle wheel gateway structures), Noishield sound wall panels with A-60 Galvanneal coating, and decorative bridge fencing with city-branded lettering and lighting.

Ace Fence generates revenue primarily through project-based public works contracting, bidding on government infrastructure projects for Caltrans, LA Metro, Metrolink, LAX, the Port of Long Beach, LADWP, LAUSD, and numerous Southern California municipalities. Secondary revenue comes from commercial subcontracting (general contractors such as Skanska, Clark Construction, Atkinson Wash JV, Sema Construction, and L.K. Comstock) and residential fence installation. The company holds DBE, MBE, WBE, and SBE certifications (File No. 642) plus City of Los Angeles welding certification. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is custom-quoted per project via a website bid request form; the go-to-market model relies on direct bidding, public procurement, and contractor relationships across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura Counties.

The entity operates under the legal name AZ-Construction Inc. dba Ace Fence Co., a privately held, independently operated California corporation with no disclosed institutional investment, external equity, or parent company. Distribution runs entirely through direct enterprise sales: government procurement and general contractor subcontracting for public/commercial accounts, and direct quote requests for residential/mid-market jobs.
