We are known in Hendersonville for our lakefront properties and family-friendly neighborhoods, and both settings benefit from custom railings. Homes overlooking Old Hickory Lake often need balcony and/or deck railings that provide safety without blocking the view. Cable railing systems are a popular choice in these cases. They offer clean lines that preserve sightlines over the water. In established neighborhoods closer to the center of town, many homeowners prefer ornamental iron railings that add traditional character to porches and staircases. In newer subdivisions, steel porch and stair railings are in demand for their low maintenance. Every one of our pieces is measured, fabricated, and installed so it feels like a natural fit for the home.
Fences in Hendersonville serve a range of purposes. Larger residential lots often require perimeter fencing to secure the property while adding curb appeal. Families frequently request pool fencing, which must meet code while also blending with landscaping and outdoor living spaces. Decorative fencing is common around gardens and courtyards, where it provides definition without overwhelming the design. Because we fabricate each fence in our shop, we can adapt to sloped yards, curves, or layouts that prefabricated panels cannot handle.
Custom gates combine security with curb appeal. Driveway gates are a frequent request for Hendersonville estates, and many homeowners choose to pair them with automated entry systems for added convenience. Garden and walkway gates are designed to coordinate with existing fences, often serving as both functional and decorative features. Smaller gates for patios or storage areas provide practical solutions while matching the style of the property. For commercial clients and apartment communities, we fabricate security gates that hold up to heavy use and deliver long-term reliability.
Many older homes in Hendersonville still have wood spindles that show signs of wear. Replacing them with metal balusters is one of the easiest ways to refresh a home’s look without major construction. The process keeps the existing posts and handrails in place, which cuts down on both cost and disruption. Powder-coated finishes are available in several colors, and homeowners can choose from straight, twisted, basket, or square designs. Most projects are finished in a single day, making baluster replacements one of the most affordable upgrades available.
Our shop also creates custom pieces that go beyond structural work. CNC-cut panels are often used as privacy screens or accent walls in outdoor living areas. Planter boxes and other decorative elements tie together patios, decks, and gardens. These features are popular in Hendersonville, where outdoor spaces are used heavily throughout the year. Each design is created with the property in mind, so the finished piece adds both function and style.
We fabricate primarily with steel and wrought iron, both finished with a powder coat that resists corrosion and reduces upkeep. These materials perform well through humid summers and cold winters.
Every client receives a CAD drawing before fabrication begins. This allows for adjustments early on and gives confidence in the final design.
Our estimates break down the cost of materials, labor, and finishes. Timelines are realistic and based on the actual scope of the job, so clients know what to expect.
We serve Hendersonville as well as nearby communities across Sumner County. In Gallatin, many projects involve deck railings and backyard fencing. Goodlettsville residents often request driveway gates and baluster replacements. Around Old Hickory Lake, balcony and cable railing systems are in high demand for lakefront properties. We also handle projects for businesses along Vietnam Veterans Boulevard and surrounding commercial corridors.
Pricing depends on size, design, and materials. A baluster replacement may start around $1,000, while a driveway gate or perimeter fence can cost several thousand. Quotes are provided after reviewing each property.
