Gate Installation in Pasadena

A gate install is six trades: structural steel fabrication, hardwood carpentry, electrical, motor / controller, smart-home integration, and finish. We do all of them in-house except the steel fab, which we coordinate with one of two LA fabricators we've worked with for over a decade. One contract, one PM, one delivery date. In Pasadena specifically, the build context shifts: Architectural-history-rich. Pasadena's coastal microclimate (hot summers (foothill heat)) calls for salt-grade hardware on every gate installation we deliver here. We default to 316 stainless throughout for any project within 1 mile of the water.

Architecture in Pasadena runs greene & greene craftsman bungalows, and our gate installation work is calibrated to read with that vocabulary. We default to Cumaru or Ipe with marine-grade fastening, with Garapa or cedar-with-Cumaru-cap as common budget alternatives. Most gate installs are sub-contractor coordination problems. We've eliminated that by doing the carpentry, electrical, and integration ourselves and using established steel partners.
