Most general contractors and handyman companies subcontract every piece of metal work, which means a delay, a markup and a design that was never coordinated with the rest of the job. We fabricate in-house. That means a stair railing designed to match your interior, a gate that matches your fence, and a repair done the same week rather than in four.
Rusted gate frames rebuilt rather than replaced. Cracked welds on railings re-welded properly with the joint prepared instead of a bead run over the crack. Sagging gates squared and re-hung. Rust treatment, primer and finish coating so the repair does not bleed through in a year. Broken hinges, latches, rollers and automation hardware.
Bare steel in Los Angeles will show rust bleed within a season. Every piece we fabricate is fully cleaned, all welds ground, and then primed with a zinc-rich or epoxy primer before the finish coat. For exposed and coastal locations we recommend powder coating or hot-dip galvanising, and we will tell you when it is worth the extra cost.
Small on-site repairs and single welds start at $450. Custom handrails typically run $110 to $220 per linear foot fabricated and installed. Driveway gates generally run $3,500 to $12,000 depending on span, design and automation. Structural steel repair is quoted after inspection and often requires a permit, which we pull.
Yes, with proper fire watch and protection. Some work is better done in the shop and we will tell you which.
Yes. Send photos and we will fabricate to match.
Powder coating for exterior and high-wear pieces, and it is worth the extra cost. Paint is fine on interior and low-exposure work.
Yes - height, opening spacing and lateral load. We build to code and will tell you when an existing railing does not comply.
