Carter Fence Company

What Carter Fence Company does

Carter Fence Co., Inc. is a family-owned fencing installation and repair contractor founded in June 1946 and headquartered in North Hollywood, California. The company installs and services chain link (galvanized steel with optional vinyl coating, including California-style with wood rails), ornamental iron (powder-coated, custom-fabricated panels, posts, gates, and hardware), vinyl/PVC fencing (privacy, semi-privacy, ranch-rail), and wood fencing (add-on) for residential and commercial customers across Los Angeles County and parts of Ventura County. Installation practices reference ASTM F567 standards for chain link, and pool-safety offerings are designed to meet the California Swimming Pool Safety Act. Complementary services include custom gate installation (swing, sliding, automated/keypad access) and repair of leaning posts, sagging gates, damaged sections, and worn hardware.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion: customers initiate contact via phone ((818) 983-1515 / (805) 517-1136 / (661) 257-2002) or a website contact form, professional sales staff conducts property evaluations, and the firm's own licensed, bonded, insured installers perform the work. Pricing is quote-based and determined by material type, linear footage, height, terrain, gates, and permits; chain link is the entry tier, vinyl mid-range, and ornamental iron the highest investment. Marketing relies on localized SEO (per-city service pages), Google Ads, social media, a project gallery, and word-of-mouth referrals. No revenue, funding rounds, acquisitions, institutional ownership, or AI/technology platform disclosures are present in available data.
