Serving Pasadena
Steel Fabrication & Welding in Pasadena, CA
Period-correct ironwork for Craftsman streets, plus non-combustible steel for the foothill edge.
Get a free quoteIronwork here has to answer to the architecture. A run of plain square tube looks wrong against a Craftsman porch in Bungalow Heaven or a Greene & Greene-influenced façade off the Arroyo, so railings, gates and window grilles want heavier stock, forged detail and proportions that sit with the period. In the landmark districts, the design review side of a project can matter as much as the structural side.
The foothill streets bring a different concern. Backing onto the mountains means ember exposure, and steel gets specified where timber would be a liability — gates, fence frames, deck framing, stair stringers.
Geography shapes the rest. Above Linda Vista and through the San Rafael hills, lots slope hard and driveways are steep and narrow, so beams are often sized to be carried and bolted rather than lifted whole. Old Pasadena's masonry buildings, meanwhile, generate their own steady stream of bracing and storefront steel.

What Pasadena calls us for
Ornamental Iron & Railings
Historic districts expect gates and railings that read as period work rather than off-the-shelf tube.
Structural Steel Fabrication
Hillside additions in the San Rafael area need steel to open up spans on lots where the ground drops away behind the house.
Steel Fencing & Driveway Gates
Foothill properties near the wildland edge favour non-combustible fence and gate frames over timber.
