Sunny Isles Beach · Miami-Dade County

Most custom gates begin as something drawn badly on a phone. That is genuinely enough. It gets turned into a real drawing, put on a photograph of your entrance, and changed there — where changes are free.

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.

Everything within a few blocks of open water runs on the same clock: salt reaches fixings, hinges and enclosures whether or not the house faces the ocean.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Sunny Isles Beach runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.

Worth knowing

  • On-site welding
  • Ornamental ironwork
  • Drawn in-house
  • Cut and welded here
  • Specified for salt exposure
What is the HVHZ?
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.

Next step

Send a photograph of the entrance and roughly what you want it to do. That is enough to start a real conversation.
