What Guardian Fence Llc does

Guardian Fence Co (legally Guardian Fence Builders Corp) is a Southern California fencing and metal fabrication contractor founded in 1993 by Andre Stikkelman in Simi Valley, California, with operations beginning in 1995. The company provides residential and commercial fencing solutions spanning wrought iron/steel, chain link, wood, and vinyl fencing, complemented by gate operators and smart access control systems, custom railings (including ADA-compliant ramp railings), and ancillary concrete, block wall, and paver services under its General B. Contractors License (C-13 & B). Core technical capability is centered on in-house steel fabrication and on-site welding, with 20+ years of specialized wrought iron repair experience and over 100,000 linear feet of fencing restored through a documented process that reportedly saves customers 40-50% versus full replacement.

The company's revenue model is project-based, combining one-time installation fees for new fencing with professional-service fees for repair and restoration work; pricing is fully quote-based with estimates initiated through online forms, phone, or email, and customer financing is facilitated through a partnership with Acorn Finance. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-commercial, using a documented 7-step process (Contact, Inspection, Proposal, Project, Updates, Completion) supported by a customer-facing Project Portal that delivers real-time project documents and progress logs. A dedicated commercial bid request form is used for larger commercial engagements.

The customer base spans four primary segments: residential homeowners (primary), HOAs and property management firms, commercial/industrial facilities including warehouses, and aerospace companies (15+ years serving this segment). The company reports hundreds of commercial and thousands of residential projects completed since founding. Since Bryson Stikkelman became CEO around 2020, the company has pursued consistent growth, technology integration, and an expanded product portfolio, with 2024 described as a record year that stretched operations to full capacity.
