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.

Estate frontage is where scrollwork, cast detail and a properly matched pair are worth the shop time, because there is enough opening to actually see them.

Where the house sits well back, the gate is the only part of the property most people ever see close up.

Different county, different approval route

Because Palm Beach is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the approvals a Miami-Dade contractor quotes from memory are the wrong ones here. What Palm Beach Gardens actually requires is set locally, and where a town or an association runs its own design guidelines those shape the finish as much as the code shapes the frame.

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.
Can a two-leaf gate work on my frontage?
If the setback gives the leaves somewhere to open into, yes — that gets measured on site before anything is drawn.
