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.
