A client had us previously build a magnificent pair of driveway gates for his Pennsylvania property, but he wanted to add more security. So, he asked us to come back and add a custom property fence on both sides of the driveway gates. He had added masonry columns to flank the beautiful driveway, which was somewhat of a challenge to work around. However, the main challenge was the elevation change on both the right and left sides of driveway gate. There was approx. 16 ft of elevation change over the duration of the fenced area.

The design of the additional property fence replicated the existing driveway gate to keep visual appeal. The metal fence pickets were 1” solid aircraft grade aluminum pickets, with a custom cast picket on top. We created a custom cast aluminum quatrefoil, and hundreds of custom cast collars. We even created a majestic collar that added depth and character to the property fence design. For the wow factor, we custom twisted some 1 1/8” sq. 8 filament baskets.

The property fence posts were created in structural 6” posts. We designed the posts with a detailed shoulder that utilized the underside of typical caprail, to provide a millwork detail look. Then, with a custom machined neck, and an 8” ball on top, the property fence was finished.

We then powder-coated the fence in a statuary bronze color, and air-brushed with a gold overlay. With the non-corrosive material, plus the durable and eco-friendly powder-coat finish, this property fence will provide many, many years of privacy, security, and beauty.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
