Which parts of Seattle do you cover?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:20:38-07:00The whole city, from the North End and Green Lake down through the central neighborhoods to West Seattle, plus the shoreline areas at Alki. We are based in Kent just to the south, so getting anywhere in Seattle is straightforward, and near the water we finish fences for the extra salt and moisture.
How well do metal fences hold up in Seattle’s rain?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:20:15-07:00Well, when they are finished for it. Months of damp will find any weak point, so we powder-coat steel over a primer, use aluminum where rust is a real concern, and seal the posts at grade. Aluminum slat and vertical systems have a natural edge since they cannot rust at all, which is part of why they have caught on across the city.
Can a metal fence match an older or historic Seattle home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:19:50-07:00Yes. In neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Madison Park, and Mount Baker we build ornamental steel to suit period homes, reproducing pickets, spear tops, and scrollwork that fit the architecture rather than looking like a modern add-on. Because we fabricate by hand in our own shop, matching or recreating a historic design is well within what we do.
My Seattle yard is on a slope. Can you still build a level-looking fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:19:26-07:00Yes, and it is routine here given the hills. On a slope a fence can step down in even panels to keep a level top line, or rake to follow the grade, and we measure the ground and build to whichever suits your lot. Custom fabrication and fitted slat systems handle grade far better than a fixed prefab run, so the posts stay plumb and the line stays clean on ground that is rarely flat.
