Question Answers
Can you build a custom deck for my home in Rhome, and how does the process work?
Yes, Ratliff Iron Works handles new deck construction, repair, and replacement. We start with a consultation at our Rhome fabrication shop near U.S. 81/287. You share your design ideas—whether for a small backyard deck or a larger structure—and we create a custom plan. We use metal fabrication for railings and structural supports, then build the deck to your specs. The process typically takes a few weeks, depending on complexity.
I have a broken gate latch on my wrought iron fence near Rhome. Can you fix it without replacing the whole gate?
Absolutely. Broken gate latches are a common issue in this area, and we often repair the existing hardware or fabricate a custom latch that matches your gate's style. Instead of replacing the entire gate, our welders can reinforce the latch point and install a durable, custom-made latch. We've done this for many homes near the Rhome Community Center, saving time and money.
What types of metal fabrication can you do beyond fencing and railings for residents in Rhome?
Our metal fabrication covers almost anything custom—from automatic driveway gates and staircases to material handling products for commercial clients. Locally, we've also crafted bed frames, wine closet doors, and decorative iron accents for homes near the Decatur Highway area. You bring us a drawing or idea, and we build it in our shop.
