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.

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.

South Miami · Miami-Dade County

Not everything needs to become a new gate. A cracked hinge boss, a post that has moved, a rail that has torn away from its stile — those are structural repairs, and they happen on site with the gate still hanging.

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.

Wider frontages tend to favour a slide or a long swing pair, and both want the ground under them prepared properly.

Wind load first, paperwork second

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade in full, which is what decides the frame and the fixings long before anyone picks a finish. Approval is a separate, local question: in South Miami it runs through whichever authority has jurisdiction, and where a homeowners' association governs the street its architectural review usually runs alongside it.
