Why Ironworks Gate Co. Is Seattle’s Preferred Gate Parts & Welding Company

Forty-two years in this trade means we’ve seen what Seattle’s marine climate does to metal and wood. The 150-plus wet days per year, the salt-laden air off Puget Sound, the driveway runoff that pools at fence lines on sloped lots - these aren’t abstract concerns for us. They’re the conditions we plan for on every job in the 98114, 98115, 98116, and 98117 ZIP codes.

Our customers in Seattle remember the last contractor who didn’t show or who left a mess. We work differently. Every technician is background-checked, uniformed, and guided by our K.E.Y.S. values code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it. The 400th gate post we replace in Seattle gets the same care as the first.

We’re also trained and equipped on nine gate-automation brands - LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule - so if your repair turns into an automation retrofit, we handle it without calling in another contractor.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise, known internally as the Keystone Standard, applies to every job. Written guarantee, no paperwork, no arguing. If it’s not right, we come back and make it right.

Our Gate Parts & Welding Services in Seattle

Hinge Replacement

Original wrought-iron strap hinges on Seattle’s Craftsman bungalows corrode predictably in the persistent marine moisture. In Capitol Hill’s humid microclimate, we’ve found hinges that have lost their temper entirely - the metal is too fatigued to be adjusted back to level. We remove the old hardware, weld custom galvanized brackets to match your gate’s geometry, and set them with slope compensation if your driveway grades at 10% or more. Typical hinge replacement in Seattle runs $180-$340.

Post Replacement

This is the service we perform most often in Seattle, and for specific local reasons. The wood post bases on century-old installs in Ballard and Fremont are routinely rotted at grade from decades of winter runoff pooling at footings. Simply replacing the post with another standard install guarantees the same failure in five to seven years. We set pressure-treated 6×6 posts with slope-compensated concrete footings that shed water and account for driveway grade. Post replacement in Seattle typically costs $450-$650 including removal, disposal, and new hardware.

We recently replaced a sagging wood gate on a 1912 Craftsman bungalow in the 2300 block of 15th Ave E in Capitol Hill. The original strap hinges had corroded and the south gate post had rotted at grade from decades of winter runoff. We cut out the old post, set a pressure-treated 6×6 with a slope-compensated concrete footing, and welded custom galvanized hinge brackets to accommodate the 12% driveway grade. The homeowner opted for a LiftMaster swing gate opener retrofit instead of repairing the original manual hardware, given the steel corrosion.

Rail Repair

Bent or broken gate rails from vehicle contact or snow-load damage are straightforward to fix, but Seattle’s conditions add complexity. Rails on sloped driveways carry uneven stress, and moisture intrusion at weld points accelerates failure. We cut out damaged sections, fabricate matching steel, and weld with weather-resistant rod. Most rail repairs in Seattle run $280-$480.

Custom Welding

Our mobile welding rig lets us fabricate brackets, repair ornamental iron, and modify gate frames on-site. Seattle’s historic districts - particularly Capitol Hill and Queen Anne - feature gates with decorative scrollwork and custom latch hardware that can’t be replaced with off-the-shelf parts. We match the existing metalwork and finish with galvanizing or powder-coat specifications. Custom welding projects in Seattle start at $320 and scale with complexity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Seattle

We stock parts and carry factory authorization for nine major gate-automation brands: LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Linear, Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing, Elite, and Mighty Mule. For Seattle customers, this means we’re not ordering parts from a warehouse in another state and making you wait. Our trucks carry FAAC and Linear control boards, Viking actuator arms, and BFT hydraulic fluids - the components that fail most often in Seattle’s wet climate. When a Capitol Hill homeowner needs a LiftMaster opener retrofit on a sloped driveway, we have the raked mounting hardware and the programming expertise to complete it in one visit.

Common Gate Parts & Welding Problems We See in Seattle Homes

• Post rot at grade on century-old wood fence posts in Ballard and Fremont. Persistent marine moisture and driveway runoff pooling at footings accelerates decay at the most structurally critical point. Full replacement with pressure-treated 6×6 and proper drainage is the only lasting fix.
• Slope-driven gate sag on steep Queen Anne and Beacon Hill driveways. A gate that won’t latch on a 15% grade is often a post that has slowly leaned downhill over years. Re-plumbing the post with a raked concrete footing corrects the geometry; resetting the latch strike does not.
• Corrosion of ferrous hinges and latch components in Capitol Hill’s humid microclimate. Original wrought-iron strap hinges lose their temper and can no longer hold adjustment. We weld custom galvanized replacements that resist the moisture that caused the original failure.
• Concrete heave and footing failure from concentrated driveway runoff. Seattle’s hilly terrain channels water directly along fence lines. We install slope-compensated footings that shed water rather than collect it.
