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.

Matching something that already exists is most of the work — an existing panel, a neighbouring run, or a detail lifted off the house itself.

Master-planned streets tend to have their utilities in known places, which makes power and control runs more predictable than on older lots.

Inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

Miami-Dade sits inside the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind-load regime in the state, so the rating on posts, panels and hardware is not a nice-to-have here. Permits on top of that are issued locally — by the municipality or by the county — so what Miami Lakes wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.

  • On-site welding
  • Ornamental ironwork
  • Drawn in-house
  • Cut and welded here
  • Shared-entry duty cycle
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.
Ours is a shared entry, not a driveway.
Different machine. It gets specified on cycles a day and on who needs to get through it, not on the gate's weight alone.
Who is responsible for the entry?
Usually the association rather than any one resident, which changes who we talk to and who signs the work off.
Do I need a permit for this?
Often, and Miami-Dade is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so the wind rating matters too. Permits are issued locally, so we confirm what your authority wants before we start.
