About

Two generations at the same bench.

We build high-end custom gates for ranches, farmhouses and luxury estates — every one of them handcrafted by the two of us in our Krotz Springs, Louisiana shop.

A gate is more than an entrance. It's the first thing anyone sees of a property and the thing they remember about it — so ours are built to make a statement, lift the look of the place, and add to what it's worth.

We're a father-and-son team based out of Krotz Springs, and we've been working together for years. Jason brings more than twenty years of experience in welding and fabrication. Jon has spent over a decade working alongside him, learning the trade and refining it.

That's the whole shop. The same two people draw your gate, cut it, weld it, and finish it. We take real pride in the work, pay close attention to the details most people never notice, and stand behind everything we build.

It's also the reason the gates carry family names. A gate gets designed around one driveway — its width, its slope, the columns either side, and what the owner wants the entrance to say. When it's finished it keeps that family's name, and the design becomes something another customer can ask for by name.
