Contact form
Send us your project information
You do not need to know exactly which fence, gate or system you need. Start by telling us what you are trying to accomplish.
"*" indicates required fields
What to include with your message
Enough to get started — not a full project package
Tell us where the property is located, whether it is residential or commercial, and what type of work you are considering. A short description helps us understand whether you need a new installation, replacement, repair, gate, automatic entrance, access-control service, or a fabricated metal component.
- Your name and contact information
- City and property address
- Residential or commercial
- Type of project
- A brief description of the work
- Photographs when available
- Plans or specifications when applicable
- Any deadline you are working toward
Photographs help when they safely show the project area, the existing fence or gate, changing grade, damage, or surrounding construction. General contractors may also send available plans or specifications. Do not include active gate codes, passwords, payment information, or other sensitive details in a general contact form.
After you get in touch
What happens next
A new installation, a repair request, a commercial bid, an access-control service call, and a custom fabrication inquiry do not all follow the same path — but they start the same way.
1
We review what you sent
Our team reads the information you provide and determines what additional details are needed.
2
A phone conversation
Often the fastest way to understand the property and what you want the finished work to accomplish.
3
Photographs or plans
Depending on the project, we may ask for wider photographs, drawings, or specifications.
4
A property visit
Measurements, grade, access, and existing conditions are checked on site when the project calls for it.
5
Estimate or service evaluation
Once the scope is clear enough, we discuss the appropriate path for an estimate or a repair request.

Useful detail by project
What is worth telling us
Different projects need different information. Open the one that matches yours.
- What you want the fence to accomplish
- The approximate area being fenced
- Whether an existing fence is present
- The type of fence you are considering
- How many gates you may need
- Whether the property has substantial slope
- Whether an HOA applies
- Photographs of the yard or existing fence
You do not need exact measurements before calling us. We can discuss what information is needed for your particular project.
- Plans and specifications
- Photographs
- General dimensions
- The property address
- Intended gate locations
- Information about the construction schedule
If the project involves several services, such as fencing plus vehicle gates and access control, let us know at the beginning so we can review the entrance and perimeter as a complete scope.
- Whether the property is residential or commercial
- Approximate opening width
- Whether a fence already exists
- Whether the driveway or entrance slopes
- Whether masonry columns are present
- What type of vehicles use the entrance
- Whether you want manual or automatic operation
Photographs of the complete entrance are particularly useful. Try to include enough of the driveway and surrounding property to show the conditions around the opening.
- A photograph of the gate
- A photograph of the operator
- A photograph of the keypad, reader, or entry equipment
- A description of what the system is doing
- Whether the problem is constant or intermittent
Do not send active access codes or other sensitive credentials through a general website contact form.
- Damaged fence sections
- Broken or leaning posts
- Gate problems
- Wind or storm damage
- Vehicle impact
- Automatic gate problems
- Access-control equipment
- Existing commercial fencing
A photograph does not always tell us the cause of a problem, but it can help us determine what information or evaluation is needed next.
- Custom gates
- Handrails
- Balcony rails
- Stair systems
- Architectural metalwork
- Custom posts
- Specialty fabricated components
For fabrication projects, drawings or photographs can be particularly helpful. If the component needs to fit an existing stair, opening, building, gate, or other structure, field measurements may eventually be required before fabrication.
