Question 1

How much does a custom iron gate cost?

Accepted Answer

Custom iron gate pricing depends on size, design complexity, and whether automation is included. Residential pedestrian gates typically start around $800–$1,500. Driveway gates range from $2,000–$6,000+. We provide free estimates with no obligation — call (714) 919-6311.

Question 2

What materials do you use for gates and fences?

Accepted Answer

We work primarily with wrought iron, mild steel, and aluminum. Each material is selected for strength, longevity, and aesthetic fit. All metalwork is primed and powder-coated or painted to resist Southern California weather and corrosion.

Question 3

How long does fabrication and installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential projects are completed within 1–2 weeks from deposit to installation. Commercial or structural steel projects may take 2–4 weeks depending on scope. We move faster than larger shops because Eduardo handles every project personally with no handoffs.

Question 4

Do you help with permits for gate or fence installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Depending on your city and project type, permits may be required — particularly for automated driveway gates and structural work. We are experienced navigating permit requirements across Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties and will guide you through the process.

Question 5

What areas of Southern California do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We serve all of Southern California including Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Irvine, Riverside, San Bernardino, Corona, Ontario, Long Beach, Pasadena, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Temecula, and surrounding areas.

Question 6

Can you install automated gate openers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We install and integrate automatic gate openers for both sliding and swing driveway gates. We work with major brands and can configure remote control, keypad, intercom, and smartphone access options. Automation can be added to new gates or retrofitted onto existing ones.

Question 7

Do you do commercial iron work and structural steel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We handle commercial fencing, structural steel fabrication and erection, and large-scale welding projects for contractors, property managers, and commercial clients across Southern California. All structural work meets local safety codes and engineering standards.

Question 8

How do I maintain my iron gate or fence?

Accepted Answer

Inspect annually for rust spots, chipped paint, or loose welds. Touch up bare metal immediately with rust-inhibiting primer and matching paint. Lubricate hinges and gate hardware every 6 months. For powder-coated finishes, wash with mild soap and water. If you notice structural damage or significant rust, call us for a repair assessment.
