Swing gates
Single or double leaf gates for driveways and pedestrian entries where there's room for the gate to open.
Fabricated for your entrance. Rated for the wind.
Custom gates in Miami, built for your entrance and for hurricane season
We design and fabricate custom gates in Miami for commercial properties, gated communities and estate homes. Every gate is sized to the opening, built to the wind requirements of Miami-Dade, and ready for an operator, so it looks right on day one and still works after the next storm.

Custom gate styles we build in Miami
The right gate starts with the opening: how wide it is, how much room there is to swing or slide, how many cars come through each day, and how close the property sits to the water. We look at all of it before recommending a design.
Sliding and cantilever gates
For wide or sloped openings and busy commercial entrances where a swinging gate would block traffic.
Estate driveway gates
Arched or flat-top designs with finials, scrollwork and matching columns, built to suit the house.
Commercial security gates
Heavy-duty gates for warehouses, lots and industrial sites, sized for high-cycle operators.
Pedestrian gates
Walk-through gates that match the main gate and can tie into keypads or card readers.

Choosing a gate material for Miami's salt air and sun
Material is the biggest decision after size. It decides how heavy the gate is, how long the finish lasts, and how hard the operator has to work.
Aluminum
Light, corrosion-resistant and easy on gate operators. The common choice for properties near Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and other salt-air areas.
Steel
Maximum strength for commercial and industrial entrances that take heavy use. Needs a quality protective coating to stand up to humidity.
Ornamental iron
The classic estate look, with detailed scrollwork and finials. Plan for coating maintenance, especially near the coast.
[CLIENT: confirm the materials you fabricate and any finishes you offer, e.g. powder coating.]
Wind-rated custom gates for the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone
Miami-Dade is in Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Gate and fence products there need an approved wind rating, often a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA). We build to those requirements, and because we're a licensed general contractor, we build the columns and footings that hold the gate up, too.
- Rated productsNOA-approved products where code requires them.
- Built as one structureGate, hinges, columns and footings designed together.
- Repairs after stormsEmergency service for gates damaged or knocked off track.
Custom gates ready for automation
Most of the gates we build end up automated. We plan the operator, the power and the access control while designing the gate, so the motor isn't fighting a gate that's too heavy or hung wrong. We install LiftMaster and work with all major operator brands.
See gate operator installation and service or read about access control systems.

Custom gate questions
How much does a custom gate cost in Miami?
It depends on the gate's size, material, wind requirements and whether it's automated. We don't publish prices because two entrances are rarely alike. Text a photo for a free quote.
How long does a custom gate take?
[CLIENT: add a typical timeline from approved quote to installation, e.g. fabrication time plus install days.] We'll give you a schedule with your written quote.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a new gate?
Usually, yes. Most Miami-Dade cities require a permit for new gates and fences, and most HOAs require architectural approval. We'll tell you what your property needs before work starts.
Can you match my existing fence or architecture?
Yes. Custom fabrication means we can match picket spacing, finials, colors and column details to what's already on the property.
Can a custom gate be automated later?
Yes. We build gates ready for an operator, so adding automation later doesn't mean replacing the gate.
