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.

Technician working at the control post of a tall ornamental iron gate in front of a palm-lined house. — The estate belt — Deeper setbacks and mature canopy south-west of the city — the openings with room for a two-leaf gate.

Pinecrest · Miami-Dade 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.

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.

Mature canopy is the reason these streets look the way they do, and it is also a maintenance factor — leaves, roots and shade all reach the gate line eventually.

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 Pinecrest wants to see on paper is worth confirming before anything is cut.
