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.

Black sliding gate running along a concrete driveway beside a clipped lawn and palms. — The urban core — Where the driveway usually meets the sidewalk and the swing arc has to come from somewhere else.

Sweetwater · 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.

Tight urban openings are exactly where a gate gets made rather than bought — an odd width, an awkward pier, a wall that is not square to the road.

Older inland streets mix construction from several decades, so two openings on the same block are not necessarily the same problem.

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, Sweetwater 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.
