Fence & Gate Installation

Custom Fence & Gate Installation Built for Security, Privacy, and Curb Appeal

At AC Custom Metal Work, we build custom fences and gates that do more than mark a property line. A well-built fence or gate can add security, create privacy, improve curb appeal, and raise property value. Since 2003, we have helped homeowners and property owners across the Seattle metro area get strong, attractive metalwork that fits their space and works for their daily needs.

We are a family-owned, women-owned, and minority-owned company based in Auburn, WA. Our 8-person team brings 20+ years of hands-on experience, and everything we install is custom fabricated. That means your fence or gate is designed around your property, not pulled off a shelf and forced to fit.

What We Install

We provide complete fence and gate installation services for residential and light commercial properties. Our work is ideal for front yards, backyards, side yards, driveways, access points, private roads, and perimeter security.

  • Custom metal fences
  • Custom swing gates
  • Custom sliding gates
  • Walkway and entry gates
  • Decorative and security fencing
  • Privacy-focused boundary solutions
  • Fence and gate replacements
  • New installations for remodels and new construction
  • Gate automation options for existing or new gates

If you already have a gate and want to upgrade it, we can often automate an existing gate as well. We also handle full installation, repair, and maintenance services, so you have one local company you can call for the whole job.

Why Homeowners Invest in Fence & Gate Installation

A custom fence and gate system solves several problems at once. It can help keep kids and pets safer, limit unwanted access, define property lines, and create a cleaner, more finished look around the home. Many customers also want better control over who enters their property and a design that matches the style of the house.

We build each project to balance function and appearance. Some customers want a simple, durable perimeter fence. Others want an ornamental metal fence with a matching driveway gate that makes a strong first impression. We can help with both.

  • Improves property security
  • Adds privacy where you need it most
  • Creates safer access control
  • Boosts curb appeal
  • Helps define boundaries clearly
  • Adds long-term value to the property
  • Provides custom sizing, style, and finish options

Our Custom Fabrication Approach

Custom fabrication is one of the biggest reasons customers choose us. We do not treat every property the same. Grade changes, driveway width, gate swing clearance, slope, usage needs, and design goals all matter. We take time to understand how the fence or gate needs to perform before we build it.

Our team works with you on the details, including style, measurements, layout, and finish. Whether you want a more decorative look or something focused on security and durability, we fabricate your system to fit your property and your goals.

Because we specialize in metal fabrication, automated driveway gates, fences, and rails, we understand how to build systems that look clean and hold up over time. Our bread and butter is automated driveway gates, and that experience helps us design gate installations that open properly, align correctly, and work smoothly.

Our Installation Process

We keep the process clear so you know what to expect from the start.

  1. Appointment and site review: We set an appointment with one of our estimators to go over the project details, including style, measurements, finishes, access needs, and site conditions.
  2. Itemized estimate: We send a complete itemized estimate for your review, so you can see exactly what is included.
  3. Follow-up and scheduling: We follow up after about 2 days. If you are ready to move forward, we sign the contract, collect the down payment, and place your project into the schedule.
  4. Materials and fabrication: We order materials and begin custom fabrication based on the approved design.
  5. Installation: We coordinate an install date with you and complete the fence and gate installation.
  6. Final walkthrough: We review the finished work with you, explain operation if needed, and collect the final payment.

For projects over $1,500, we require a 50% down payment at the time of signing and the remaining 50% upon project completion.

Project Timeline

Most fence projects are typically completed in about 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope, level of customization, material lead times, and site conditions. If your project includes a custom gate or gate automation, timing may vary based on equipment and fabrication details. We offer same-day quotes or site visits when available, which helps homeowners get the process started faster.

Gate Options and Automation

If your project includes a driveway or access gate, we can build the gate as a standalone installation or as part of a full fence system. We also offer automated gate solutions for convenience and better access control.

We work with well-known hardware and automation brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain Elite, CellGate, and Locinox. These systems can support reliable opening and closing, controlled entry, and easier day-to-day use. If you want the look of a custom fabricated gate with the convenience of automatic access, we can help you build both into the project from the start.

Built for Durability and Long-Term Performance

A fence or gate should not just look good on install day. It should stay strong and work properly over time. We focus on quality craftsmanship, proper fabrication, and professional installation so your investment performs the way it should.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we stand behind our work with a 60-month warranty on our craftsmanship. That matters when you are investing in a custom boundary system that affects security, usability, and appearance every day.

My wife and I could not be happier with the construction quality and design of a custom metal railing we just had installed on a stepped sidewalk approaching our home's entrance. My expectations were exceeded, as this railing a definitely a notch above any of the typical iron railings seen on most properties. Moreover, Brandon was very receptive my design preferences and easy to work with. I highly recommend AC Custom Metal Work.
