Local Residential Fencing in San Francisco, CA 94124 - International Ornamental Iron Works

Many San Francisco homes sit on clay-heavy soil or old foundations that shift with seasonal rain and dry spells. When installing or repairing fence posts, we dig below the frost line (about 12 inches) and set posts in concrete, sometimes adding rebar for extra stability. For existing fences with post movement, we assess the affected area, re-set the post in fresh concrete, and use galvanized brackets to secure it to the frame. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments every few years to protect against rust from the coastal air.

Yes, we install automatic gates for driveways and pedestrian walkways at homes throughout the city. We handle the full process—from selecting the motor and control system (including keypads, intercoms, or remote openers) to running conduit and wiring. Our team works with both swing and slide gates, and we ensure the installation meets local safety codes. We also provide ongoing maintenance and repair for existing automatic gates.

Absolutely. During your free on-site consultation, we take detailed measurements and discuss your vision. If you have a photo, drawing, or just an idea, we can create a CAD mockup or a hand-forged sample to match. Our metal fabrication shop handles rolling, welding, and finishing in-house, so we can produce complex scrollwork, geometric patterns, or minimalist railings. We’ll also coordinate with your contractor or HOA if needed.
