Questions and Answers
What types of custom gates and fences does Gem Ornamental Iron make?
We design and build entry gates, driveway gates, garden fences, security fences, and railings for steps and porches. Our work is fully custom — you choose the pattern, height, and finish. We serve residential and commercial clients across Cleveland, from single-family homes to apartment buildings and churches.
How does your company handle Cleveland’s freeze-thaw weather in iron fence installations?
Cleveland’s cold winters and spring thaws cause the ground to heave and shift, which can loosen standard fence posts. To counter this, we set posts deeper than code — typically 36 to 48 inches — and use concrete that is mixed to drain moisture away from the steel. We also weld joints and use anti-rust primer and powder coating to prevent corrosion from road salt and lake-effect snow.
Can you match an existing iron fence or replicate a historic pattern?
Yes. We often match or replicate designs from older homes in Cleveland neighborhoods like Ohio City, Shaker Heights, and Cleveland Heights. You can bring us a photo, a sketch, or even a broken section, and we will forge a matching piece. We also modernize designs when needed, combining traditional scrollwork with cleaner lines.
About the Local Business
Gem Ornamental Iron Co. has served Cleveland, OH for over 50 years, designing, forging, and installing custom ornamental metalwork. From stately entry gates and wrought iron fences to elegant garden enclosures and stair railings, each piece is built to blend durability with artistry. The process begins with the client’s imagination — whether a scroll pattern inspired by historic Ohio City homes or a modern geometric design for a Tremont patio. Working out of our shop near the intersection of I-90 and W 117th Street, we fabricate each component in-house, ensuring consistent quality and fit. For Cleveland homeowners, we address the city’s freeze-thaw cycles and ground shifting by using heavier-gauge steel, deep-set concrete footings, and rust-resistant finishes. We regularly install gates in neighborhoods like Little Italy, Shaker Square, and Detroit-Shoreway, and are familiar with the lot lines and grade changes common in the area. Whether securing a back gate near Edgewater Park or replacing a sagging fence in University Circle, Gem Ornamental Iron delivers a solid, custom fit that stands up to Lake Erie weather.
