Common Questions
How do you design custom fences and gates?
We start by listening to your ideas and assessing your property’s needs. Using both traditional forging and welding techniques, we create sketches and discuss material options, ensuring the design complements your home. The fabrication process focuses on durability and aesthetic appeal, with attention to every detail from scrollwork to hinge placement.
What can I do about fence staining deterioration in Modesto’s climate?
In Modesto, sun exposure and seasonal moisture can cause paint or stain to fade and peel. We combat this by using high-quality iron that is primed and coated with weather-resistant finishes. Regular maintenance, like cleaning and repainting every few years, also helps prolong the look of your fence. We can recommend specific products during your consultation.
Why do gate locks fail, and how do you prevent that?
Gate locks often fail due to rust, misalignment, or wear from frequent use, especially in Modesto’s heat. We install heavy-duty locks made from stainless steel or brass, which resist corrosion. Proper gate alignment during installation ensures the latch engages smoothly, reducing strain. We also advise occasional lubrication to keep mechanisms working reliably.
