Shade, style, and zero maintenance

A photograph shows the design. It does not show everything that makes the gate work well over time.

The frame, material thickness, connections, hinges, locks, finish, foundations, motor, and installation all affect the price and performance.

Two proposals may look similar while including very different products and amounts of work. Compare the complete installed system, including service and warranty coverage.

At Mulholland Brand, we custom measure and fabricate products for the property. We want customers to understand what that involves and what they are paying for. A higher price deserves a clear explanation, and a lower price deserves the same attention to detail.

Often, the surprise is in the work surrounding the product.

Check whether the proposal includes removal and disposal, posts, foundations, concrete repairs, electrical supply, automation, access controls, safety devices, drainage, and any necessary engineering or permits.

Ask who handles each part, including work that requires another contractor. Confirm how unexpected conditions or requested changes will be priced and approved.

For a Mulholland Brand project, your written proposal should help answer one simple question:

"What else must be completed or paid for before I can use the finished system?"

Yes. Most standard installations are completed in a single day, thanks to our in-house fabrication, early-start teams, and coordinated logistics. Our crews often begin loading as early as 5:00 AM to ensure on-time, same-day completion.

Yes — we're known for it. Our extensive experience in areas like the Mulholland hills makes us one of the most trusted names for hillside work. We use specialized engineering and our patented IST system to ensure stable, seamless installations on challenging terrain.

All Mulholland products are custom-measured and custom-built to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation — no one-size-fits-all solutions.

Aluminum is strong, rust-proof, recyclable, and maintenance-free. It offers long-term beauty and value. Iron rusts in 3–5 years in Southern California's coastal climate; wood warps, splits, and needs annual staining. Aluminum does none of that.

Yes. Our powder coating system is non-toxic and engineered specifically for aluminum, ensuring a safe, long-lasting finish. Our electrostatic powder-coat fuses to the aluminum at a molecular level, creating a water-tight, corrosion-resistant finish.

Yes. All products are fabricated in our 30,000 sq ft facility in Canoga Park, California.

Yes. With a 24-month no-interest option or up to 10-year terms with no prepayment penalty. Rates start around 8.99%, and payments average about $190 per $10K. It's a smart way to complete larger projects and add value to your home.

Sometimes, yes. However, in most cases the fee is waived for serious inquiries. Each consultation offers high-value design insight and personalized support.

Yes. Your initial payment secures materials and kicks off fabrication. Once measurements are confirmed, your install date is scheduled within two business days.

Yes — and more importantly, we honor them. Every product comes with a clear, written warranty: a one-year warranty for any defect related to manufacture or assembly, and a three-year warranty against rust. What matters more is the company behind the warranty. We're going to be here years down the road, and we'll be the ones backing up your product.

Mulholland Brand is a well-known and trusted name in the industry, with tens of thousands of installations across California. We are the only manufacturer in California with in-house employees — no dealers, no subcontractors. This means direct accountability, better quality control, and a seamless experience from design to installation.

We offer affordable service support even beyond your warranty. Most calls are resolved for $500 or less.

Yes. Our aluminum systems are non-combustible and have been CAL FIRE tested — field-tested in California wildfires, often remaining intact where other structures were lost.

Yes. In California's wildfire zones, aluminum is non-combustible and meets Zone-Zero defensible-space requirements — the 0-to-5-foot perimeter around your home where only non-combustible materials are allowed. While wood and vinyl ignite or melt, aluminum creates a fire-resistant perimeter.

Zone-Zero is the ember-resistant zone within 5 feet of your home, defined by the California Board of Forestry. It applies to properties in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. If your gate, fence, or railing is wood or vinyl within that zone, it may need to be replaced with non-combustible material like aluminum.

Yes. We serve Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and San Diego Counties, with limited services in Palm Desert and the Bay Area for larger projects.

Yes. We offer beautiful hybrid solutions combining glass, wood-tone aluminum, lighting, and more.

While we don't handle the installation of electrical components, our products are designed for easy integration with automation and lighting systems.
