Custom Gate Build

Hand-Built Custom Gates

Swing gates, sliding driveway gates, and pedestrian walk gates — built in wood or metal, framed to swing true and stay aligned for years.

Our Service

The Finishing Touch to Your Property

A gate is the first thing visitors touch and the first thing that can go wrong. A poorly built gate sags, sticks, and drags — turning a simple entry into a daily annoyance. A properly built gate swings true and stays that way for a decade.

We build custom gates by hand in wood, metal, or a combination of both, engineered for your exact opening and daily use. From single walk gates to heavy sliding driveway gates, we build them to last.

Material & Build Choices

Build details that matter

The finished look depends on more than boards. Post depth, rails, fasteners, and gate framing all affect how solid the fence feels — and how long it lasts.

Post Depth & Footings

Posts are set in concrete deep enough to keep the fence line straight through the seasons — not just on install day.

Rail & Board Alignment

Even spacing and true lines are what separate a fence that looks custom from one that looks rushed.

Gate Framing

Gates are the hardest-working part of any fence. We frame them to stay square and swing true for years.

Sun Exposure

We factor in how much sun your fence line gets, since it affects material choice, fading, and how often you reseal.

Irrigation Overspray

Sprinklers hitting a fence every day is a common cause of rot. We plan the layout around it before anything is set.

Material & Finish

From natural cedar and redwood to low-maintenance vinyl, we match the material to your privacy, budget, and upkeep goals.

Sequence

The work moves in a clear order

01

Measure the fence line and confirm the style

We walk the property, take measurements, and lock in material, height, and layout before anything is ordered.

02

Remove old material when needed

If you are replacing a fence, we handle demo, haul-off, and disposal so you start with a clean slate.

03

Set posts, build the fence, hang gates, clean up

Posts go in concrete, panels go up square, gates get hung and tested, and we leave the yard spotless.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Sagging is almost always caused by undersized frames or weak hardware, not the wood. We build gates with reinforced frames and heavy-duty hinges so they do not sag over time.
