Ornamental Iron Company Serving Seattle
Wrought Iron & Ornamental Iron Company in Seattle, WA
Custom ironwork, railings, and security gates for Seattle's historic and modern homes.
We travel from Tacoma to bring certified welders and custom ironwork to Seattle.
Custom Ironwork Built for Seattle's Neighborhoods
Seattle's housing stock spans more than a century of style, and that variety shapes every ironwork project we take on here. From the craftsman bungalows lining the streets of Ballard to the sleek condo towers overlooking Lake Union, our ornamental iron company designs pieces that respect a home's character instead of fighting it.
We've fabricated custom railings for hillside properties on Queen Anne where a steep lot demands both structural strength and a graceful look, and we've built security gates for Capitol Hill row houses where street-level access matters as much as curb appeal. Every project starts the same way: a real conversation about how the space gets used and what the neighborhood calls for.
South Lake Union's growth has also brought more commercial ironwork requests our way, from pipe railings on rooftop decks to structural steel columns inside renovated warehouse spaces. Whether the job is residential or commercial, our fabrication process stays the same: measure twice, weld once, and build something that outlasts the trend of the moment.

Seattle Architecture and Puget Sound Weather Shape Our Ironwork
Seattle's mix of rain, marine air, and long gray stretches between April and October puts real demands on outdoor metalwork. Untreated iron rusts fast here, so every exterior piece we fabricate, from a wrought iron gate to a simple handrail, gets properly primed and coated before it ever leaves our shop.
The city's architecture adds another layer to the decision-making. A Tudor-style home in Magnolia calls for a different railing profile than a mid-century rambler in Rainier Valley or a glass-and-steel infill house in South Park. We design custom ironwork that fits the era and materials already on the property instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all catalog piece onto a facade it doesn't match.
Hillside lots are common too, particularly around Beacon Hill and West Seattle's ridge above Alki Beach. Those slopes often need custom metal fabrication for retaining structures, stair railings, and balcony railings that hold up on grade while still looking intentional rather than purely functional.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Ironwork Projects in Seattle
01 Do I need a permit for a new iron fence or gate in Seattle?
Fences and gates under a certain height on your own property typically don't require a permit, but rules vary by zoning and lot line setbacks, especially in the city's denser neighborhoods. We review your specific address before fabrication and flag anything that needs city sign-off.
02 How long does a custom iron gate or railing take from quote to installation?
Most residential jobs, from initial custom ironwork quote to finished iron gate installation, run four to eight weeks depending on design complexity and our current shop schedule. Commercial welding services for larger buildings can take longer and we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
03 What ironwork projects do you see most often in Seattle?
We get frequent requests for balcony railings on Capitol Hill and Queen Anne, custom iron security doors for street-facing entries, and pipe railing installation on rooftop decks in South Lake Union and Ballard. Wrought iron fencing for front yards is common in the city's older residential blocks too.
04 Can you match an existing railing or gate style on an older Seattle home?
Yes. Our fabrication process starts with photos or an in-person measurement of your current ironwork, and we replicate or complement the existing profile rather than installing something that clashes with a historic facade.
