Local Business Description

Creative Iron Works & Metal Art Studio, operated by D & D Iron in Niceville, FL, has been forging custom metalwork for over 26 years. Owner Donald Smith started as a teenager, teaching himself to weld, and now leads a team of skilled blacksmiths and metal artists. They specialize in building custom gates, fences, railings, staircases, wine cellar doors, lighting, and structural metal elements for residential and commercial projects. Every piece—from simple repairs to complex creations—receives the same careful craftsmanship. Using carbon steel and other ferrous metals, they tackle challenges without hesitation, ensuring each project is durable and unique. Their work is common around Rocky Bayou, near Niceville High School, and along the Eglin Parkway corridor, serving homeowners who want quality metal fabrication that lasts. From automatic gate installation and fence weatherproofing to building additions and deck construction, they handle the full fabricating and contracting scope. Whether addressing wind-damaged vinyl fencing or crafting decorative ironwork, the team prioritizes long-lasting results that fit the local coastal climate and neighborhood styles.

Questions and Answers

How do you repair or replace fences damaged by storms and strong winds in Niceville?

We regularly handle fence damage caused by tropical storms and high winds common to the Niceville area. For vinyl fences, which are prone to cracking and blow-over, we can replace damaged panels and reinforce the structure using stronger metal posts and anchors befitting local weather. For storm debris impacts, we inspect and repair iron, steel, and other metal fences, often incorporating weatherproofing as part of the fix. Our team will also advise if a full replacement or a retrofit automatic gate system would better withstand future storms. We service neighborhoods off John Sims Parkway and around Bluewater Bay.

What types of custom metal gates and fences can you install for Niceville homes?

We design and install both manual and automatic gates, along with matching fencing, using carbon steel and most ferrous alloys. Options include driveway gates, pedestrian gates, pool enclosures, privacy fencing, and decorative ironwork. Our automatic gate systems can be integrated with remote controls and access keypads. We also offer painting or staining to match your home's exterior. We serve homes throughout Niceville, from the waterfront properties on Rocky Bayou to subdivisions near the Mid-Bay Bridge.

Can you handle both fabrication and installation for a building addition or deck project?

Yes, as a general contractor we handle the complete job, including design, metal fabrication, and construction for building additions and deck projects. We work with wood and metal decks, adding custom railings or staircases for a cohesive look. For additions, we provide structural steel supports and decorative metal elements. Our team coordinates with your existing layout and ensures code compliance. We work on projects near Eglin Air Force Base and throughout the Niceville area.
