Half of custom work is not inventing anything. It is reproducing a picket profile, a scroll or a cap that already exists on the property so the new piece does not announce itself as new.
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.
Wind exposure on the water is not only a number in a code table — it is what actually loads a gate leaf, every afternoon.
Two approvals, not one
Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Golden Beach runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.

Straight answers
- Drawn in-house
- Cut and welded here
- On-site welding
- Ornamental ironwork
- Specified for salt exposure
- What is the HVHZ?
- The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the Florida Building Code's strictest wind-load region. It covers all of Miami-Dade, which is why the hardware spec here is not the spec further north.
- I have a sketch, not a drawing.
- A sketch is enough to start. We draw it properly and show you the gate on your entrance.
- Can you match something that already exists?
- Yes — an existing panel, a neighbouring property's detail, or a piece of the house itself.
- Structural repair, not a new gate?
- We weld on site. Posts, frames, hinges and rails get repaired where they stand.
