A couple had built a dream home on a Northeast lakefront property were looking to surround the entire property with the best security fence that also met pool code, and at the same time accentuated the immaculate landscape by the landscape architect. They wanted a very rigid fence, that presented a barrier for intruders to penetrate, but yet had visual beauty and was still easy for them to access the backyard and boat deck.

For the impenetrable aspect, 1” solid aircraft aluminum pickets were utilized and elegant Fleur-de-lis finials provided beauty on this property fence. Custom created horizontal channels provided stiffness and 3” sq. posts embedded in concrete had stability and rigidity.

The access concern was met with key-less mechanical latches on all the security gates by the water front and property perimeter.

With most of the landscape already planted, the fence install was challenging to not damage the plantings.

When completely installed, the clients were thrilled with the balance of security and beauty that this custom residential fence brought to their property. And it will provide them with elegance and privacy for their own private haven that they can enjoy for many years to come.

Mr. Amos Glick and staff at Compass Ironworks built and provided me with a customized automatic gate. From the very beginning of the project, they were passionate and attentive to my family’s special needs. Their skill and care in every detail of the gate, size, style, material and color, matching our landscape, was well thought out and well crafted. They were able to also give the exact various automation modes my family had requested.
 
I am very much satisfied with the superb work done and would recommend Compass Ironworks whole heartily to anyone seeking personalized care and excellent workmanship.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

I have been meaning to call you about all the wonderful details of our railing. First of all, it’s beautiful. It is made exactly like we wanted, and it is sturdy just the way we wanted. Ben, Alvin, and John were right on the ball. They knew what they were doing. They were in and out of there, but still took the time necessary to do what they needed to do. And it looks beautiful! My wife came home and she had tears in her eyes and she was all tickled, and that was wonderful. We’re going to recommend you to all our friends, family, and neighbors. We’ll definitely give you a call. Feel free to use me as a reference. I will recommend you to anyone I know or meet. Thank you, Sir and have a good day.
