How We Work
Start by describing the fence or gate, its material, the property location, and what you want changed. For a repair, tell us whether the problem is dragging, binding, a latch that misses, damaged metal, or a failing coating. For new work, explain who or what needs to pass through the opening.
We come to the property and look at the work before quoting. Assessing a fence or gate means considering the opening, supporting posts, adjacent panels, ground clearance, and existing condition together. A photograph can help explain a concern, while measurements and a closer look help establish the actual work involved.
We discuss the approach around the condition of the metal and the intended use. Repair, replacement, custom fabrication, and refinishing address different needs, so the recommendation should identify which parts require attention and why. Material choice, frame dimensions, hardware, and finish belong in that conversation before decisions are settled.
Scheduling follows agreement on the proposed work and access arrangements. We discuss access to the fence line or gate opening and any items that need to be moved from the work area. Fabrication, installation, and coating work can involve different sequences, which should be clear when arranging the appointment.

Fence And Gate Work
Metal fence installation brings together layout, post spacing, panel alignment, and the treatment of changes in grade. Steel and aluminum fencing offer different material choices, while picket spacing and panel proportions shape the finished appearance. Gate locations deserve attention at the layout stage because they determine how people move through the fence line.
Pedestrian gate installation focuses on a usable opening, suitable swing direction, and hardware that works together. A gate needs clearance along its travel, room for the latch to engage, and support appropriate to its frame.
Driveway gate installation involves the opening width, gate arrangement, supporting posts, and available travel space. Ground clearance matters throughout the movement of the gate, especially where the surface changes level.
Custom gate and fence fabrication addresses dimensions and details that need to be made for the proposed layout. Frame squareness, picket arrangement, joints, and hinge mounting points affect both appearance and fit. Our fabrication service covers custom metal gates and fence panels within that work.

Repair And Refinishing
Gate and fence repair starts with understanding the cause of the problem. A latch that no longer meets its catch can involve hinge wear, frame distortion, or movement at a supporting post. Adjusting the latch alone may leave the underlying issue unresolved, so the surrounding structure matters as much as the visible symptom.
Metal gate and fence refinishing addresses surface condition and the protective finish. Rust removal, preparation, primer, and a compatible topcoat form a sequence; covering loose coating does not provide a sound starting surface. Refinishing also differs from structural repair, since a fresh finish cannot replace metal lost to corrosion.
What We Do Not Do
We do not perform roofing, plumbing, or interior remodeling. Our work is metal fence and gate fabrication, installation, repair, and refinishing. If a broader property project includes other trades, identify those tasks separately so the fence or gate work can be discussed with a clear scope.
