Des Moines Metal Fabrication Experts

Des Moines is a great spot for homes and businesses that need metal work built to last. Between the Puget Sound weather, salt air, hills, and daily use, gates, fences, and railings in this area need more than a basic off-the-shelf solution. That is why we custom fabricate our work to fit the property, the layout, and the look you want.

At AC Custom Metal Work, we have been serving the Seattle metro area since 2003. We are a local family-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned company with 20+ years of experience and more than 1,000 gates installed. When customers in Des Moines call us, they are working with a real team that designs, fabricates, installs, repairs, and maintains metal features the right way.

Custom metal work for Des Moines properties

We help homeowners and property managers improve security, safety, curb appeal, and ease of access. Our core services in Des Moines include:

• Automated driveway gates
• Gate automation for existing gates
• Custom metal fences
• Metal railings for stairs, decks, and entries
• Walk gates and pedestrian gates
• Gate repair and maintenance
• Commercial gate solutions
• Custom fabrication for unique metal projects

Our bread and butter is automated driveway gates. We build complete new gate systems and can also automate an existing gate. We work with trusted hardware and gate operator brands like LiftMaster, Chamberlain Elite, CellGate, and Locinox to give you dependable performance.

Built for security, function, and curb appeal

A good gate or fence should do more than mark a property line. It should make daily life easier and help protect what matters. We build custom driveway gates, metal fences, and rail systems that are made for real use in Des Moines. Whether you want a modern look, something ornamental, or a more private and secure setup, we can fabricate a solution that fits your space.

Because everything is custom, we take time to go over style, measurements, finishes, and how the system will be used. That helps us create metal work that looks clean, works smoothly, and holds up over time.

Our process is simple and clear

• Set an appointment with one of our estimators
• Review styles, measurements, finishes, and project details
• Receive a complete itemized estimate
• We follow up after about 2 days to answer questions
• Sign the contract and submit the down payment to begin scheduling
• We order materials and start custom fabrication
• We coordinate your install date and complete the job
• We show you how everything works and collect final payment

We also offer same-day quotes or visits when possible. Most gate and fence projects take about 3 to 6 weeks. Most railing projects take about 3 to 4 weeks.

Why Des Moines customers choose us

• Custom fabricated solutions, not one-size-fits-all products
• Licensed, bonded, and insured
• 60-month warranty on our craftsmanship
• Full install, repair, and maintenance service
• Local company based in Auburn
• Friendly team with hands-on experience

We know trust matters when you are investing in a gate, fence, or railing. That is why we keep our estimates detailed, our communication direct, and our workmanship consistent. For projects over $1,500, we require 50% down at contract signing and the remaining 50% at completion, so the process stays straightforward from start to finish.
