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.

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
