Specializing in custom metal fabrication, we handle fence and gate installation, repair, painting, staining, weatherproofing, and automatic gate systems.

We continue to improve our customer service while staying true to the traditional ironwork techniques passed down from our teacher, an artist in forged iron.
FAQs
How do you handle fence post movement caused by Oakland's soil conditions?
Oakland's clay-heavy soil can shift with seasonal rain and dry periods, causing fence posts to move or lean. At Ramos Iron Works, we set metal posts in concrete footings that extend below the frost line, using rebar for added stability. For existing fences, we can re-set posts and reinforce them with adjustable brackets to prevent future movement.
What custom metal fabrication services do you offer for residential gates?
We specialize in custom wrought iron and steel gates, including manual and automatic models. Whether you need a driveway gate, pedestrian gate, or decorative security gate, we fabricate each piece to match your home’s style. We also integrate automatic openers and keypads for convenience.
Do you repair automatic gates from other manufacturers?
Yes, we repair automatic gates from major brands like LiftMaster, Mighty Mule, and others. Common issues include motor failure, sensor misalignment, and damaged control boards. We service both residential and commercial systems in Oakland and nearby areas.
