A beautiful property and home in urban Washington DC needed an upgrade to their front gate. The existing gate was corroding so they wanted solid aircraft grade aluminum for its non-corrosive properties. They also had hidden gate operators that they needed the new security gate to connect to. The desire was to replicate existing design and embellish it somewhat. So, instead of square bar, we utilized a formidable rectangular bar and frame. We designed a custom knuckle to fit these special bars. And with a solid panel along the bottom, Cast aluminum rosette’s added beauty.

With hand-forged scroll-work to soften the harsh lines and add elegance, these security gates accentuated the beautiful property and home. Powder-coated matte black, these security gates are indistinguishable from wrought Iron, but have the same level of elegance and integrity for years to come.

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!
