Coast Iron Works: Local Fence Contractors Serving Wilmington, CA 90744
234 Broad Ave, Wilmington, CA 90744
Business Profile
Coast Iron Works has been serving the Wilmington and San Pedro communities for decades, evolving from a traditional blacksmith shop into a full-service metal fabrication company. We specialize in custom ornamental ironwork for both homes and businesses, including wrought iron handrails, staircases, driveway gates, and pedestrian gates. Our team also handles deck construction, repair, and replacement, as well as comprehensive fence and gate services—installation, painting or staining, repair, and weatherproofing. One of our original San Pedro phone numbers, among the first 500 issued in the city, remains in use today as a connection to our heritage. For local residents dealing with common fencing problems in the area, such as post movement from shifting soil or damage from wildfire exposure, we offer tailored solutions. We build and reinforce fence posts with deeper concrete footings and use fire-resistant metal materials to reduce long-term damage. Located near the Port of Los Angeles and just off the Harbor Freeway (I-110), we are a familiar fixture in the Wilmington business community. If you can imagine it, we can design, fabricate, and install it in metal.
Q&A
What types of metal do you typically use for custom gates and railings?
We primarily work with wrought iron and steel for its strength and classic look, but we can also use aluminum for lighter, rust-resistant applications. We fabricate everything in our Wilmington shop, so we can match any style or material preference you have.
How does Coast Iron Works handle fence post movement and wildfire damage common in Wilmington?
To prevent post movement, we set our fence posts with concrete footings that extend below the frost line and widen at the base. For wildfire exposure, we recommend metal fencing and gates rather than wood, as metal does not catch fire. We also apply weatherproof coatings that resist heat and embers.
Can you repair a wooden deck that has rotted from moisture?
Yes, we offer full deck repair and replacement services. Our team can remove and replace rotted boards, reinforce the frame, and apply a water-resistant sealant. For a longer-lasting solution, we can also recommend composite decking materials that resist moisture better than traditional wood.
