A successful executive was building a new home for his family. As part of the beautiful property, they wanted a metal fence and a driveway gate, with gate openers to provide classic physical security.

As part of the security protocol, they desired a pedestrian gate with a programmable code latch. With some research, the correct latch was sourced and installed.

The initial gate design and layout was challenging and evolved as the security needs and aspects of the property were evaluated. From a material perspective, using aircraft grade aluminum for this driveway gate and estate fence made sense. When the clients realized that they could utilize this non-corrosive alloy, that it was solid pickets, welded solid, and indistinguishable from “wrought iron” fence, they were thrilled. They realized that it is a durable, solid and rigid product that can look good for many decades, and would require zero maintenance. with that in-mind, all the posts, post caps, finials, and components were researched and procured.

This turned out to be a spectacular project, with the house providing a great backdrop for a custom-crafted fence and gate that can provide security and beauty for generations.

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!
