The client was building a beautiful shore home and wrought Iron decor was desired to accentuate the architecture. But due to the harsh elements at the shore, we had to design everything in marine grade and aircraft grade aluminum. Powder-coated correctly, the wrought iron gate design was indistinguishable from Iron.

This portion of the project entailed a complete, functioning pool gate, complete with self-closing and self-latching hardware. Plus, artistic forged iron grills on the double entry doors. We had the design elements tie into the balcony railing design, plus added design details, inspired by Samuel Yellins work. We added twisted scrolls, scored banding ornamental acanthus leaves and rosette’s to really have a visual wow factor. The builder and client were thrilled, it gave them similar design as terrace railing and pool fence, and powder-coat to CIW 2604-A specs, should be maintenance free and gives both parties great peace of mind for finish longevity.

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!
