About
Fencing for the Capital's Homes
Olympia mixes Victorian and craftsman streets near the Capitol with newer neighborhoods toward Lacey and Tumwater, all of it in marine-damp air off Budd Inlet. We build fences that suit both eras and shrug off the moisture.
The range runs custom fabricated, prefab horizontal slat, and vertical fencing custom or prefab, fabricated in our Kent shop and finished for the South Sound climate.
Our Olympia fence work is carried out in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, so you get their fencing knowledge alongside the metal fabrication we do in our own shop.
What We Build
Three Ways to Build a Fence: Custom, Horizontal Slat, Vertical
Historic streets and new neighborhoods pull different directions; these three builds cover both.
Custom Fabricated Fences
Custom fabrication reproduces period detail for a South Capitol home or follows an irregular older lot line exactly, in steel or aluminum.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Fences
Prefab horizontal slat panels bring a modern screen to newer Olympia homes, quick to install and immune to rust in the inlet air.
Vertical Fences, Custom or Prefab
The classic upright profile for Olympia’s period homes, custom fabricated so spacing and top detail match the house, or as quality prefab vertical panels.
Slat Materials
Slat Fence Material Options for Olympia: Aluminum, Steel, Composite
The inlet’s damp air rewards choosing the slat material carefully.
Aluminum and Steel Slat Fences
Aluminum handles the marine damp without corroding, while steel provides the backbone for ornamental work and gates, finished through a multi-step coat.
Composite Slat Fences
Composite slats keep a wood-look fence from graying or rotting in the wet, pairing a warm face with a metal frame that stays true.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open and Architectural Fence Lines
We set slat spacing to the seclusion each Olympia yard actually needs.
Privacy
Closed slats seclude a back garden or patio fully, useful on the compact lots near downtown.
Semi Privacy
A measured gap screens the yard while letting the low winter light through.
Open & Architectural
Wide spacing draws a clean line around a front yard or corner lot without hiding a period facade.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Olympia Fences
For a distinctive detail, we laser cut custom metal panels, so an Olympia fence can feature a bespoke pattern or a privacy screen designed for a historic or modern home. The panels are cut in-house and build into both custom fabricated fences and prefab panel runs. We produce this fencing in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their fencing knowledge with our own fabrication and laser cutting.
Neighborhoods
Fences for Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey
From South Capitol and Bigelow to the Eastside, Westside, and out toward Tumwater and Lacey, we match each fence to the home’s era and its distance from the water.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Olympia HOAs and New Construction
The newer communities toward Lacey, Tumwater, and Olympia’s edges commonly review fences through an HOA. We provide the drawings and finish samples that make that signoff simple.
For new construction we coordinate with your builder on timing and finish, so the fence completes the exterior rather than trailing it.

Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install matching metal gates with the fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-27T15:17:29-07:00Yes. A fence usually needs one or more gates, and we fabricate walk gates and wider drive gates in the same material and finish as the run, whether that is an ornamental steel gate for a historic home or a slat gate for a modern one. Built in-house alongside the fence, the gate matches exactly, and we hang it on posts and hardware sized to keep it swinging true for years.
Can you match an ornamental fence to my historic Olympia home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-27T15:17:01-07:00Yes, and it is some of our favorite work in the area. We can reproduce a period ornamental design, match existing metalwork on the property, and build a steel fence that suits a Victorian or craftsman home near the Capitol 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.
Are aluminum or steel fences better for Olympia’s marine climate?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-27T15:16:33-07:00Near the water, aluminum has the edge because it cannot rust in the marine 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.
Should I choose a custom fabricated, slat, or prefab metal fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-27T15:15:58-07:00It depends on the home and the look. For Olympia's historic Victorian and craftsman houses, custom ornamental steel matches the period. Horizontal aluminum slat fences give a modern, private screen for a newer home and will not rust in the marine air. Prefab panels are efficient for a straightforward run. Because we build all three, we recommend what fits your property.
