About
Custom and Automated Gates for the Capital
Olympia mixes Victorian and craftsman streets near the Capitol with newer neighborhoods toward Lacey and Tumwater, all in marine-damp air off Budd Inlet. A gate here has to suit both eras and shrug off the moisture, from an ornamental driveway gate to a modern walk gate.
We fabricate custom and ornamental gates in our Kent shop, build prefab horizontal slat gates, and offer vertical gates custom or prefab, in steel, aluminum, or a metal frame with wood infill, with swing or slide automation finished for the South Sound climate.
We carry out our Olympia gate work in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their gate and access expertise with the fabrication, automation, and finishing we handle ourselves.
What We Build
Gate Designs: Custom, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical
From period ornamental to modern slat, three builds cover Olympia’s entrances, all automatable.
Custom Fabricated Gates
Custom fabricated gates reproduce period detail for a South Capitol home or build a modern driveway gate, welded to any design and matched to the house.
Prefab Horizontal Slat Gates
Prefab horizontal slat gates bring a clean, modern entrance to newer Olympia homes in an efficient build that resists the inlet air.
Vertical Gates, Custom or Prefab
Vertical gates give the classic upright line, custom fabricated for an exact period match or set as a quality prefab panel for a simpler opening.
Slat Materials
Gate Materials: Aluminum, Steel, or Wood Infill
The inlet’s damp air rewards choosing the gate material carefully.
Aluminum and Steel Gates
Aluminum handles the marine damp without corroding and keeps an automated gate moving; steel provides the backbone for ornamental work and wide gates, finished through a multi-step coat.
Metal Frame with Wood Infill
A metal frame with real wood infill unites a strong frame with natural boards, giving a period entrance genuine wood warmth on a gate that holds its shape in the marine damp.
Privacy Levels
Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open Gates
Infill spacing sets the seclusion each Olympia entrance actually needs.
Privacy
Solid or tight infill secludes a back garden or driveway gate fully, useful on the compact lots near downtown.
Semi Privacy
A measured gap screens the entrance while letting the low winter light through.
Open & Architectural
Open, ornamental spacing draws a clean line around an entrance without hiding a period facade.
Automation
Automated Swing and Slide Gates in Olympia
Both driveway gate types can be automated and finished for the inlet air. We build and install the automation, then set it to open by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a sensor that reads an approaching vehicle.
Swing Gates
Swing gates hinge open like a door in the classic period look, suited to a level Olympia drive with room to arc.
Slide Gates
Slide gates roll to the side along the fence line, the answer for a short Olympia lot or a sloped approach.
Every automated gate includes safety sensors that stop and reverse it if something is in the path, and we can add a keypad, intercom, or remote so visitors and deliveries get in with a tap.
Laser Cut Panels
Custom Laser Cut Panels for Olympia Gates
We laser cut custom metal panels into gates, so an Olympia entrance can carry a period pattern or a house number. The panels build into both custom and prefab gates, and this work is done in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro.
Neighborhoods

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

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
Can the gate match my fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T17:41:39-07:00Yes. We build the gate to match your fence in material, profile, and powder-coat color, ornamental or modern, so the entrance reads as part of the line. Because we fabricate both in-house, the match is exact.
Will a gate near Budd Inlet hold up to the marine air?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T17:41:12-07:00Yes, when specified for it. The marine-damp air is hard on ordinary metal, so near the water we favor rust-free aluminum, finish steel through a multi-step process, and protect the automation and hardware, so the gate keeps operating smoothly for years.
Swing or slide gate, and can you automate it?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T17:40:44-07:00A swing gate suits a level drive with room to arc open; a slide gate rolls along the fence line for a short or sloped lot. Either can be fully automated. The gate opens by remote, keypad, intercom, a wall button, or a vehicle sensor, with safety sensors that stop it if something is in the way.
Can you match an ornamental gate to my period Olympia home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-08-06T17:40:11-07:00Yes, and it is some of our favorite work in the area. We reproduce period ornamental detail so a driveway or walk gate 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, period matching is well within what we do, and the gate can still be automated.
