A Philadelphia homeowner had an exceptional property with a unique garden ecosystem that attracted butterflies and insect populations. As part of the property boundary, an iron fence design was proposed alongside the client’s driveway.

In the attempt to tie this iron fence into its natural habitat, a design was created with the implementation of ornamental roses and vines. These custom iron roses and vines, with their random orientation on each of the panels, brought a sense of art to this architectural structure. Additionally, custom scrollwork was implemented along the top of the fence; adding an architectural flair.

For aesthetic appeal and rigidity purposes, spectacular Iron columns were designed and attached to both ends of the strait boundary fence. The main posts were made of 1 ¼” solid bar with twist effects to break up the straight lines. And, to top off the massive posts, a ball finial and scroll design was attached for a strong visual impact.

The entire project was blasted, pretreated, primed and powder- coated black. Then the individual roses were hand painted red, orange, green and blue hues. These individually painted iron roses created a beautiful contrast that elevated the overall impact of the fence.

Now, due to the environmental synergy of this Iron fence and our craftsman’s’ dedication to quality and beauty, this Philadelphia client will be able to enjoy iron artistry for years to come.

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!
