About
One Shop for Fence, Gate, and Railing
Kirkland projects benefit from something specific about our shop: we build railings, gates, glass, and cable systems too, so a new fence can share one finish and one profile with everything else on the property instead of clashing with it.
We offer custom fabrication, prefab horizontal slat systems, and vertical fencing custom or prefab, each specified for the humid air coming off Lake Washington.
We build our Kirkland metal fences in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their fencing knowledge with the fabrication we handle in our own shop.
What We Build
Fence Builds: Custom, Prefab Horizontal, and Vertical
Three ways to build, all matchable to the metalwork already on your property.
Custom Fabricated Fences
Custom fabrication suits Kirkland’s hillside lines and older Norkirk homes, and it lets us mirror the profile of railings or gates already on the property.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Fences
Prefab horizontal slat panels give lakeside contemporary homes a fast, clean privacy screen in materials that shrug off the moisture.
Vertical Fences, Custom or Prefab
The upright, traditional profile that suits Kirkland’s older homes, custom fabricated to an exact line or installed as quality prefab vertical panels.
Slat Materials
Slat Fence Materials for the Lakeside: Aluminum, Steel, Composite
Lakeside air narrows the material question, and each option answers it differently.
Aluminum and Steel Slat Fences
Near the water we lean aluminum, which cannot rust in the lake air; steel serves the set-back lots and any run that wants extra rigidity. Both take marine-friendly powder-coats.
Composite Slat Fences
Composite slats hold a wood look through humid summers and wet winters without swelling or graying, letting a lakeside screen stay warm-toned with no refinishing.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, and Open Architectural Fence Spacing
From sealed to open, spacing tunes what the fence shows of the lake side.
Privacy
Tight slats close off a lakeside patio or spa from the path and the neighbors entirely.
Semi Privacy
A slim gap keeps the water breeze and light moving through while screening the yard at eye level.
Open & Architectural
Wide spacing traces the property line with a light touch that leaves lake views intact.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Kirkland Fences
Beyond pickets and slats, we laser cut custom metal panels so a Kirkland fence can carry a unique pattern or privacy screen, matched to the other metalwork we build for you. The panels integrate into both custom fabricated fences and prefab runs. We produce this fencing in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their fence knowledge with our in-house fabrication and laser cutting.

Communities and New Builds
Working With Kirkland HOAs and New Construction
Kirkland’s condo rows and newer communities toward Kingsgate and Totem Lake often route fence changes through an association. We hand you the drawings and samples that reviews ask for, styled within the guidelines.
Building new? We coordinate with your builder so fence, gates, and any matching railings arrive together, sharing one finish across the property.

Customer Reviews for Custom Railings WA
See What Our Customers Are Saying
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
What fence styles suit Kirkland’s older homes?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T12:27:46-07:00The traditional houses up the hill in Norkirk and the established neighborhoods suit ornamental steel, with pickets and custom patterns that define a yard without closing it off. The lakeside contemporary homes lean toward horizontal slat screens. We match the style to the home and finish either for the lakeside air.
Do you build the fence and other metalwork together?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T12:27:20-07:00Yes. If you are starting fresh we can plan the fence, gates, and any deck or stair railings as a set, all from the same shop, so they share a single look. If you already have some pieces, we match the new fence to them rather than working around a mismatch.
I am near the water. Will the fence corrode?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T12:26:53-07:00Not when it is specified for the exposure. The humid lakeside air is hard on ordinary metal, so on waterfront and near-water lots we favor rust-free aluminum, finish steel through a multi-step process where it is wanted, and seal the posts at grade. Set back up the hill, properly finished steel holds up well too.
Can you match my fence to railings or gates I already have?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T12:26:26-07:00Yes, and it is our main advantage in Kirkland. Because we fabricate fences alongside railings, glass, cable, and gates in the same Kent shop, we can carry one powder-coat color and one profile from your existing metalwork to the new fence, so the whole property reads as one piece instead of separate parts.
