Cut list, jig, weld, dress, finish, hang. Keeping all six steps in one place is why a one-off is possible at all — nothing has to be ordered to a standard size, and the people who fabricated it are the people who hang it.

Ornamental work this close to the water is a materials conversation first. What gets drawn has to survive the exposure, which rules some sections and some finishes out before the design starts.

Spray carries further inland than people expect, which is why a finish specified here is not the one specified well away from the water.

One code, many counters

The wind-load requirement in Dania Beach is the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard that governs the whole of Broward. The review that sits on top of it is local, and in a county this dense with planned communities an association's architectural approval is frequently the longer of the two.

Structural repair, not a new gate?
We weld on site. Posts, frames, hinges and rails get repaired where they stand.
Can you work from a photograph?
Yes. A photograph of the detail you want matched is usually more useful than a description of it.
Does custom mean a different scale of job?
Not necessarily. Where the opening is an odd width or the pier is not square, a made piece is often the only thing that fits at all.
Can ornamental ironwork be repaired?
Frequently — that is welding and dressing rather than replacement, and it happens on site where the piece is already fixed.
