Q&A

What types of materials do you use for fence and gate weatherproofing in Gilroy?

We use industrial-grade powder coatings and galvanized hardware to protect against moisture and sun exposure. For Gilroy’s climate, we also apply a heat-resistant sealant on iron gates to prevent expansion warping. Each installation comes with a thorough weatherproofing treatment designed to last through local seasonal changes.

Can you repair a wrought iron fence that was damaged by a wildfire in the area?

Yes. Wildfire exposure can cause metal to weaken or warp. We assess the damage and can often restore the fence by welding new sections, realigning posts, and applying a high-temperature primer before repainting. We also recommend upgrading to thicker-gauge iron for better resilience in fire-prone neighborhoods near areas like Hecker Pass.

How long does a custom automatic gate installation typically take?

Most residential automatic gate installations are completed within one to two weeks. This includes site preparation, concrete footing for the posts, wiring for the opener, and testing the safety sensors. We handle all permits and coordinate with your HOA if needed. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
