Our Company

From One Truck
to the Gold Standard.

A union, family-owned company built on a founder’s audacious dream — today, the perimeter subcontractor Southern California’s biggest builders call first.

The Origin

One Man. One Truck. One BHAG.

In 1988, David Ortiz stepped into his entrepreneurial world — one man, one truck, and one big, hairy, audacious goal. No safety net. Just a relentless standard and the belief that a fence company could be something the whole industry looked up to.

That dream became In-Line Fence & Railing Co., Inc. Today, we’re a union, family-owned contractor that self-performs the design, fabrication, and installation of railing, fence, structural steel, guardrail, and perimeter security — and the crew general contractors call when a job is on the line.

“We started with a dream in 1988. We’re still chasing the next one.”
