Functional Steel Objects | Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Oakland, CA

We offer full-service metal fabrication and rolling for custom architectural elements. This includes railings, gates, stairs, doors, and security doors, plus furniture and awnings. We work with mild steel to create modern designs, often using traditional blacksmith techniques for unique textures and shapes. Whether you need a curved staircase railing or a rolled steel gate, we handle the entire process—from design in our Oakland studio to fabrication and installation.

Wildfire exposure is a real concern for Oakland residents. For fences and gates, we use heavy-gauge mild steel that resists warping under high heat, and we apply powder-coated finishes that can withstand ember contact better than many wood or vinyl alternatives. We also design gates with self-latching hardware and minimal gaps to reduce fire entry points. For existing fences damaged by fire, we can fabricate replacement sections that integrate with your current structure while improving overall fire resilience.

Absolutely. Sagging gates often happen due to heavy weight over time or improperly sized hinges. We assess the gate’s frame, posts, and hardware, then reinforce the structure—often by adding a diagonal brace or upgrading to heavier-duty hinges and posts. If the gate is beyond repair, we can design and build a new custom steel gate that balances proportion and prevents future sagging. We also recommend regular maintenance for gates in Oakland’s varied climate.
