Old Fig Garden isn’t like anywhere else in Fresno. The 1920s-1940s estate homes on North Van Ness Boulevard, East Olive Avenue, and the tree-lined streets near the original fig orchards sit on oversized lots with masonry pilasters and ornamental iron gates that have been in place for generations. We’ve replaced gates that were hung before our company was founded in 1984. That history matters. The mature trees that give this neighborhood its character - including the original fig trees - have root systems that shift post footings over decades. The San Joaquin Valley’s 105°F summers and Tule fog winters thermally stress iron frames and accelerate corrosion where paint has cracked. Generic gate installation won’t do here. Our Gate Installation team knows how to work with these conditions, not against them.

Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Old Fig Garden’s Preferred Gate Installation Company

We’ve been the company Old Fig Garden homeowners call when they want the job done once and done correctly. Our reputation here was built slowly, one estate gate at a time, starting with the wrought-iron repairs we performed on Spanish Colonial Revival homes in the 1980s and continuing through the custom fabrication projects we complete today on North Van Ness and East Olive.

Old Fig Garden customers specifically mention our aesthetic matching in reviews - the ability to replicate scrollwork and finials that belong to a 1930s gate, not a 2020s catalog. They also note our response time: because our technicians are already working throughout Fresno and the 93704 zip code, we can typically schedule an estimate within 24-48 hours and begin installation within a week of approval.

What separates us from generalist contractors is our combination of welding craft and certified automation expertise. We’re trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands - including Viking, Ghost Controls, and DoorKing - so we can match the right motor to heavy wrought-iron gates that standard openers would strain against. And every job is protected by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise, known internally as the Keystone Standard: if it’s not right, we come back and make it right, no paperwork, no arguing, no exceptions.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, working by our K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th gate in Old Fig Garden gets the same care as the first.

Our Gate Installation Services in Old Fig Garden

Swing Gate Installation

Swing gates remain the signature choice for Old Fig Garden’s historic estate homes, and for good reason. A properly hung single or double swing gate on masonry pilasters preserves the period aesthetic that defines this neighborhood. We recently installed a pair of custom-wrought double swing gates at a 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival home on North Van Ness Boulevard. The original ironwork had been damaged by a vehicle impact, and the homeowners wanted a faithful reproduction. We matched the scrollwork and used a LiftMaster Elite series opener with rolling-code remotes for security, ensuring the gates aligned perfectly despite the mature fig tree roots that had slightly shifted the masonry posts. Swing gates demand precise post plumb and hinge alignment - especially when tree root heave is involved - and we set every post to account for it.

Double Gate Installation

Double gates are the standard for Old Fig Garden’s wider driveway entrances, typically spanning 12 to 16 feet on these generous lots. The challenge here is synchronization: both leaves must meet cleanly at the center, with no sag or drift, year after year. We fabricate or source center latches and drop bolts that match original hardware profiles, and we always verify post footing depth against root intrusion before hanging. A double gate that looks correct on day one but sinks six months later is a failure we refuse to accept. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise covers it, but our aim is to never need it.

Security Gate Installation

Security gates in Old Fig Garden serve a dual purpose: they protect property on these large, visible lots, and they must do so without compromising the historic character that makes the neighborhood distinctive. We install access control systems - keypads, intercoms, rolling-code remotes - that integrate cleanly with ornamental ironwork, not against it. For a 1936 Tudor Revival on East Olive Avenue, we concealed a DoorKing access panel within a custom-fabricated iron housing that matched the existing gate design. The security function is modern. The appearance belongs to 1936.

Sliding Gate Installation

Sliding gates solve a specific problem in Old Fig Garden: tight clearances where a swing gate’s arc would intrude on pedestrian walkways, garden beds, or the narrow driveways found behind some historic homes. We install cantilever and track-mounted sliding systems with heavy-duty rollers rated for the weight of custom wrought-iron panels. The track must be perfectly level, and in Old Fig Garden, that often means addressing root-heaved concrete or resetting post footings before the track goes down. We handle that preparation as part of the job, not as a surprise add-on.

Pedestrian Gate Installation

Pedestrian gates in Old Fig Garden are frequently standalone works of ironwork - side-yard entrances, garden gates, pool enclosures - that deserve the same craft as a main driveway gate. We match stile width, scroll patterns, and finial styles to existing gates or architectural details, and we install self-closing hinges and latches that meet pool safety codes where required. A pedestrian gate should feel like it was always part of the property, not an afterthought.

Driveway Gate Installation

The driveway gate is the first impression of an Old Fig Garden estate, and we treat it that way. From initial measurement through final adjustment, we account for the specific conditions of your property: post footing stability, gate weight and wind load, automation requirements, and aesthetic continuity with existing ironwork. We settle on an upfront price before turning a single bolt - no surprises on the bill.

Trusted Brands We Service in Old Fig Garden

We maintain certification and parts inventory for nine major gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Old Fig Garden’s heavy wrought-iron gates, we most often specify Viking or DoorKing operators - both are built for high-cycle, high-weight applications and offer the torque needed to move ornate double gates smoothly. We stock common wear parts locally, so if an opener needs attention during or after installation, we’re not waiting on shipping. Most automation issues in Old Fig Garden are resolved in a single visit.

Common Gate Installation Problems We See in Old Fig Garden Homes

• Post footing failure from mature tree root heave. The decades-old root systems of Old Fig Garden’s signature fig trees and mature shade trees quietly push gate post footings out of plumb. A gate that looks sound from the street often binds or sags at the base. We check post alignment before any hardware installation and reset or re-plumb posts as a routine first step.
• Thermal stress and hidden corrosion from Fresno’s climate extremes. The 105°F+ dry summers and dense Tule fog winters thermally expand and contract iron gate frames, cracking paint and allowing moisture to seep into hinge mounts and frame welds. We strip, treat, and refinish ironwork with coatings rated for Central Valley UV exposure, not standard hardware-store paint.
• Aesthetic mismatch with off-the-shelf hardware. Old Fig Garden’s historically conscious owners rightfully reject catalog hinges and latches that clash with 1930s ornamental ironwork. We source or fabricate period-appropriate hardware, including custom scrollwork, finials, and center latches that belong on these gates.
• Insufficient swing clearance on alley-load and secondary driveways. Some Old Fig Garden homes, particularly behind the main estate frontages, have tight alley-load access where a standard swing gate would block vehicle entry. We assess clearance precisely and recommend sliding or bi-folding alternatives where swing arcs won’t work.
