Highland Beach · Palm Beach County

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.

The coastal towns add a layer

Palm Beach County sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the product approvals differ from the two counties to the south. On top of that, several towns and associations in this county run design guidelines of their own — so what Highland Beach expects is worth reading before a finish is chosen, not after.

  • Drawn in-house
  • Cut and welded here
  • On-site welding
  • Specified for salt exposure
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.
Can you work from a photograph?
Yes. A photograph of the detail you want matched is usually more useful than a description of it.
