FAQs
Can you repair sagging gates on historic properties in Capitol Hill?
Yes, sagging gates are a common issue we see on older homes in Capitol Hill. Our team assesses the cause—often worn hinges or shifting posts—and reinforces the gate using welding or replacement parts. We match the style to preserve the historic look, whether it's wrought iron, cast iron, or steel. We provide free estimates for any gate repair.
Do you install automatic gates for residential properties in Washington, DC?
Absolutely. We install automatic gate systems for driveways and pedestrian entries, including operators, sensors, and remote controls. Our team handles the full installation from concrete footings to wiring. We also repair and maintain existing automatic gates, ensuring smooth operation even in DC's varied weather.
How do you repair storm-damaged fence sections?
After storms, we often see broken panels, bent posts, or detached sections. We inspect the damage, straighten or replace metal components, and re-weld or bolt everything securely. For fences with historic designs, we match the original pattern. We also offer weatherproofing to prevent future storm damage. Contact us for a free estimate.
