A successful and entrepreneurial couple were having issues with unwanted motorists traveling through their historically significant property. They desired automated driveway gates to improve the safety on their own property. One challenge was how to have it blend or tie into the historical stone wall and pillars that were at the front of the property. They also wanted the driveway gate design to harmonize with historic wrought Iron that was on the property.

So special pieces were created to replicate the historic finial and the picket center piece. And utilizing metal 6” x 6” hinge posts and designing short fence sections to transition to the historical stone wall, the driveway gate placement at that location no longer looked like an after thought or mistake. And Compass Provided the guidance and expertise to give the landscaper, electrician and security technician direction so that everyone was able to collaborate seamlessly. And with today’s wireless technology the clients have the option to monitor their entrance remotely. These distinctive driveway gates provide the safety and privacy that the client was seeking and allows for seclusion and relaxation on this historic PA property.

We love our front porch railings! They certainly add a lot of beauty to our home and they fit the period of our home. When elderly guests come to visit, it’s always good that they have something strong to hold onto, and they fit perfectly what we were looking for. Thanks to everyone on your team for their artistic work. We are very happy with our final products!

Compass delivered absolutely amazing, high quality product. They are true masters.  I am also pleased with their timely communication and guidance, as we worked through the design and transaction process. 

I would definitely recommend them and work with them again.

What an excellent experience we had with Compass Ironworks!! We have spent four years restoring and remodeling a Pre-Civil War home in North Alabama. We have learned a lot through the process and made more than a few mistakes. But choosing Compass Ironworks was not one of those. From the very first interaction, Amos and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Old homes are quirky! No right angles. No two measurements are precisely the same. So using a company in Pennsylvania was a risk. And we are SO GLAD we took that risk! Absolutely flawless!! The designs, the collaboration, the execution, the QUALITY, the timeline and the finished product were all first class!!! We will absolutely choose Compass again for our next project and recommend them to anyone who asks.

The railing is installed and is beautiful … a work of art, to be sure!

My expectations were high and certainly met. I was able to visit the shop and see the railing in progress. It was a thrill to see it then, and very exciting when it arrived at my home.

I have already recommended you to others!
