Tacoma Metal Fabrication Experts

Tacoma is a city where great design, hard work, and long-term value matter. From historic homes near North Tacoma to newer properties around South Tacoma and growing commercial spaces throughout the city, property owners here want metal work that looks sharp, works well, and holds up in Washington weather. That is exactly what we build at AC Custom Metal Work.

We are a family-owned, women-owned, minority-owned metal fabrication company serving Tacoma and the surrounding area since 2003. Our team brings 20+ years of combined experience, and we custom fabricate every project to fit the property, the layout, and the customer’s goals. Whether you need a secure automated driveway gate, a strong metal fence, or clean, durable railings, we handle the job from design and fabrication to installation, repair, and maintenance.

Custom metal work for Tacoma homes and businesses

We do not install one-size-fits-all products. We build custom solutions that improve security, curb appeal, safety, and daily convenience. If you want a gate that opens smoothly, a fence that matches your property, or railings built for both style and code compliance, we can help.

• Automated driveway gates
• Gate motorization for existing gates
• Custom metal fences
• Decorative and security fencing
• Metal railings for steps, decks, and entryways
• Walk gates and pedestrian gates
• Commercial gate solutions
• Automatic gate repair and maintenance
• Custom fabrication for unique metal projects

We also work with trusted gate hardware and automation brands like LiftMaster, Chamberlain Elite, CellGate, and Locinox. If you already have a gate in Tacoma and want to automate it, we can often upgrade your current system instead of starting from scratch.

Why Tacoma customers choose our team

When you hire us, you are working with a local company that knows this work and stands behind it. We have installed 1000+ gates, and our bread and butter is automated driveway gates, along with fences and rails. Every project is custom fabricated, and every customer gets clear communication from start to finish.

• Founded in 2003
• Licensed, bonded, and insured
• 60-month warranty on our craftsmanship
• Same-day quotes or visits available
• Full install, repair, and maintenance service
• 8-person team focused on quality and detail

Our process is simple. We meet with you, take measurements, go over styles and finishes, and send a complete itemized estimate for review. After approval, we collect the deposit, order materials, complete the fabrication, schedule installation, and make sure you know how everything works before we wrap up the job.

Typical project timelines

We know Tacoma customers want honest expectations. Most automated driveway gate projects take about 3 to 6 weeks. Fence projects also usually take 3 to 6 weeks. Railing projects are often completed in 3 to 4 weeks. Timing can vary based on design, materials, site conditions, and finish details, but we always keep you updated.

For projects over $1,500, we require 50% down at contract signing and the remaining 50% at project completion. Our annual maintenance plans are prepaid and scheduled on pre-designated days throughout the year.

We serve property owners across Tacoma, including North End, Old Town, Proctor, Stadium District, Downtown Tacoma, Hilltop, South Tacoma, Eastside, West End, Browns Point, and Northeast Tacoma. If you are in Tacoma and need custom fabricated gates, fencing, or railings, we are ready to help.
