About

Fencing for Tacoma's Historic and Modern Homes

Tacoma pairs some of the region’s best period houses with new construction and salt-tinged air off Commencement Bay, so a fence here has to respect the architecture and outlast the coast. We build for both.

We fabricate custom and ornamental fences in our Kent shop, install prefab horizontal slat systems, and offer vertical fencing custom or prefab, finished for the marine exposure.

We build our Tacoma metal fences in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their fencing experience with our fabrication and period-appropriate finishing.

What We Build

Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, or Vertical Fences

From period pickets to modern slats, the three builds below cover Tacoma’s range.

Custom Fabricated Fences

Custom fabrication is how a craftsman or Victorian gets a fence that belongs to it, with pickets, spear tops, and patterns reproduced to the period.

Prefab Horizontal Slat Fences

Prefab horizontal slat panels serve the city’s remodels and new builds with a clean modern screen that will not corrode near the water.

Vertical Fences, Custom or Prefab

The upright, traditional profile that suits Tacoma’s historic homes, custom fabricated so spacing and detail match the house, or as quality prefab vertical panels.

Slat Materials

Aluminum, Steel, or Composite Slat Fences for the Coast

Salt air makes the slat material decision a real one in Tacoma.

Aluminum and Steel Slat Fences

Close to the bay, aluminum’s immunity to rust makes it the safe slat choice; steel, properly finished, carries ornamental detail and strength further inland.

Composite Slat Fences

Composite slats offer a warm board face that ignores salt air and never needs paint, a fit for craftsman blocks where wood tones matter.

Privacy Levels

Privacy, Semi Privacy, and Open Fence Spacing

Spacing decides whether a fence reads as a wall or a line on a historic street.

Privacy

Sealed spacing gives a North End garden or porch yard full seclusion from the sidewalk.

Semi Privacy

A fine gap keeps a corner-lot yard private without turning the fence into a wall on a historic street.

Open & Architectural

Open spacing edges a parking strip or front garden in a rhythm that suits the neighborhood’s character.

Laser Cut Panels

Custom Laser Cut Panels for Tacoma Fences

For a period-appropriate or modern accent, we laser cut custom metal panels, letting a Tacoma fence carry a pattern that suits a historic home or a clean contemporary screen. Cut in our own shop, the panels integrate into both custom fabricated fences and prefab runs. We carry out this fencing in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, pairing their fence experience with our metal fabrication and laser cutting.

Neighborhoods

Tacoma Fencing, Bay to West End

From the North End, Stadium District, and Proctor to Old Town, Ruston, and out toward University Place, we finish every fence for its distance from the salt.

Communities and New Builds

Working With Tacoma HOAs and New Construction

Tacoma’s newer townhome rows and communities toward the West End and University Place often carry HOA fence standards. We package drawings and samples so the association’s review moves quickly.

On a new build or a major remodel we coordinate with your contractor so the fence lands with the exterior finish work, matched in tone to the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We build matching walk gates and wider drive gates in the same material and finish as the fence, so the line reads as one. Because we fabricate in-house, a custom, ornamental, or slat gate matches the fence exactly, and we set the posts and hardware so the gate swings true and stays aligned.

Yes, and it is some of our favorite work here. We can reproduce a period ornamental design, match existing metalwork on the property, and build a steel fence that suits a craftsman or Victorian home rather than looking like a modern add-on. Because we fabricate by hand in our own shop, this kind of period matching is well within what we do.

Near the water, aluminum has the edge because it cannot rust in the salt air, which is why slat and many prefab systems use it. Steel is stronger and takes ornamental detail better, which matters for historic homes, and finished through a multi-step powder-coat over a primer it holds up well when set back from the water. We help you weigh the two for your property.

It depends on the home and the look. For Tacoma's historic craftsman and Victorian houses, custom ornamental steel matches the period. Horizontal aluminum slat fences give a modern, private screen for a remodel or newer home and will not rust in the salt air. Prefab panels are efficient for a straightforward run. Because we build all three, we recommend what fits your property.
