About the Company
Capitol Iron has been serving Sacramento homeowners and businesses with custom ironwork since 1998. Based in the heart of the city, just off Highway 80 near the historic Sacramento Valley Station, we specialize in residential and commercial fencing and gates. Our team takes pride in addressing common local problems like fence staining deterioration caused by the intense Central Valley sun and fence post movement from expansive clay soils. For staining, we use UV-resistant, weatherproof coatings and recommend annual inspections to maintain color and seal. To prevent post movement, we set posts deeper and use concrete collars, a method proven effective in Sacramento’s soil conditions. We also build custom automatic gates, manual gates, iron railings, security doors, and folding scissor gates for businesses in the downtown grid, Midtown, and East Sacramento. Whether you need a simple wood fence repair or an ornate iron gate for a home near William Land Park, Capitol Iron offers personalized designs at reasonable prices. Our prompt response and flexible craftsmanship have made us a trusted name for clients near the Capitol, McKinley Park, and along the American River Parkway.

FAQs
How do you prevent fence post movement on Sacramento’s clay soil?
We address post movement by digging deeper holes—typically 36 inches for fence posts—and using a concrete collar that extends at least 6 inches below the frost line (which doesn’t apply much here, but we still go deep). The concrete is mixed with gravel to improve drainage, reducing soil expansion pressure. This method has kept posts straight for decades in Sacramento’s clay-heavy areas.
Can you stain a new iron gate to match my existing fence?
Yes, we offer custom color matching for iron fences and gates. Our staining process includes sanding and priming with a rust-inhibitor, then applying a UV- and water-resistant exterior stain. For Sacramento’s hot summers, we recommend a semi-transparent stain that allows the metal to breathe, minimizing peeling and fading.
What types of automatic gates do you install for Sacramento homes?
We install a wide range of automatic gates, including sliding, swing, and cantilever models. For residential properties near busy streets like J Street, we often recommend swing gates with solar-powered openers for energy efficiency. All our automatic gates meet local safety codes and come with backup battery systems in case of power outages.
