Twelve lines, one address, since 1954

Twelve lines, out of one shop on Guadalupe Street.

The shop splits two ways. Five lines send a crew out to your property with post-hole diggers and levels. Seven lines never leave the building until the metal is cut, welded and finished. Both halves run out of the same address, and both are why the word fabrication sits next to the word fence in our name.

InstallWe come to the property

Wrought iron fencing

We build wrought iron for commercial properties, garden fencing, gate runs, perimeter lines and railings, and every job is made to the property rather than pulled off a shelf. Owners choose it for the look first, then find out it holds up: low maintenance, hard to get through, and it does not go out of style.

Wood fencing

Lattice, picket, post-and-rail, privacy, shadowbox or split-rail, in Cedar, Cypress, Pine, Redwood or Spruce. Cedar, Redwood and pressure-treated Pine give you the most years out of a wood fence, and we will tell you which one before you buy, plus what it takes to keep it sealed, stained and free of rot.

Chain-link fencing

Galvanized steel, stainless steel or Vinyl-coated, for animal enclosures, commercial sites, government and military work, industrial yards, playgrounds, residential lots and sports fields. Barbed wire, razor wire, tension wire and height extensions are all available. It will not give you privacy and it needs rust prevention over time. We will say so before you order it.

Custom gates

Automatic, double, pedestrian, security, sliding or swing, in aluminum, chain-link, steel, vinyl, wood or wrought iron. Access control, automation, decorative scrollwork, hinges, latches and locks all get worked into the design before we cut anything, whether the gate is going on a driveway, a farm, a commercial lot or a security perimeter.

Gate operators and access systems

Barrier, cantilever, overhead, sliding and swing operators, matched to the gate and the traffic that moves through it. We come back seasonally, once for winter and once for summer, to service the access control so it is not the part of the property that fails first.

On site

A run of fence goes up the same week it gets measured.

Every install line above is priced against the actual property, not a catalogue length. Call (210) 433-8932 and we will come look at it.

FabricateIt is built here first

Custom metal fabrication

Design and planning, material selection, fabrication, prototyping, quality control, then assembly and installation. Art and sculpture, automotive and aerospace parts, construction and architectural pieces, furniture and interior work, industrial equipment. If it can be drawn, our welders can usually build it. References available on request.

Stair and handrails

Baluster and handrail systems, cable railings, glass handrails, wall-mounted rail, wooden rail and wrought iron rail, with non-slip grips where the code or the client wants them. A set of stairs is only as good as what you can hold onto going down them.

Metal beam guardrails

Aluminum, stainless steel or steel, built out for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, public spaces and residential drives. Height, spacing, load capacity, strength and visibility all get worked out before a beam goes up, because a guardrail that looks right and fails is worse than no guardrail at all.

Mason columns and walls

Load-bearing, partition or retaining, and we handle the design, the construction and the material sourcing ourselves. Water-sealing and drainage get worked out before the first course goes down, and we come back for inspection and maintenance after.

Carports

Attached, canopy, detached, freestanding or multi-vehicle, in concrete, fabric, masonry, metal or wood. We handle the foundation work and the local building codes, so the carport you get is the one that will actually pass inspection.

Electrostatic painting

Surface cleaning, priming, an efficient spray pass and an even coat that dries fast. It wastes less material than a standard spray job, wraps the piece in a uniform, consistent finish, and holds its adhesion better with less solvent used to get there.

General construction

Our crew includes architects, engineers, project managers and surveyors, and we run a job from concept development through architectural design, engineering, permits, site prep, budgeting, scheduling, the foundation and superstructure, the envelope, interior work, finishing, inspection, testing and handover.

Nothing here is ordered in

The seven make lines are why the catalogue is this long.

A fence company that does not weld cannot offer a mason wall, a beam guardrail or a general construction job. We can, because the shop that draws your gate is the same shop that pours the footing next door to it.

Not sure which line covers the job?

Most jobs touch two or three of the lines above at once, a gate with an operator, a fence with a mason column at the corner. Tell us what the property needs and we will sort out which lines it is.
