Luxury Residential Metal Fencing

Standard residential fencing is not built for the properties our clients own. When a custom home on a two-acre lot in Cherry Hills Village, a waterfront estate on Mercer Island, or a gated ranch compound in Park City needs perimeter fencing that matches the architecture — not a catalog product bolted to the ground — that is when you call Ideal Fencing Corp. We fabricate and install luxury metal fencing systems in wrought iron, ornamental steel, and architectural-grade aluminum for the residential market, bringing the same project management discipline and installation precision we use on $500K commercial jobs to your property.

Why We Entered the Residential Market

Our commercial clients started asking. General contractors building $3M to $15M custom homes across Colorado, Washington, Idaho, and Utah kept asking whether we could install the perimeter fencing and driveway gates for their residential projects. The answer was yes — and we discovered that the residential luxury market had the same frustration our commercial clients had: unreliable contractors, missed timelines, and installation quality that did not match the price tag. We brought our bonded, insured, employee-owned crews to the residential side, and the referrals have not stopped.

Systems We Install

**Ornamental Iron Fencing**: Hand-welded and factory-fabricated wrought iron panels in classic, contemporary, and estate profiles. Heights from 4 to 8 feet with options for spear-top, flat-top, ring-top, and custom finial designs. Hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated in any RAL color. We work with architects to produce custom panel designs that match the home's architectural vocabulary — whether that is a clean-line modern estate or a traditional Georgian manor.

**Architectural Aluminum Fencing**: Maintenance-free aluminum systems that replicate the look of wrought iron without the corrosion concerns. Ideal for properties in high-moisture climates, near saltwater, or where the homeowner wants zero-maintenance perimeter fencing. Available in a full range of profiles from simple picket to elaborate estate designs. Backed by lifetime manufacturer warranties.

**Steel and Iron Estate Gates**: Automated driveway gates in swing and slide configurations, from 12 to 24 feet wide. We design gates to match the perimeter fencing profile — same picket spacing, finial style, and finish — so the entry reads as a unified composition. Our gates are engineered for daily residential use with whisper-quiet operators and battery backup for power outages.

**Custom Fabrication**: For properties where no catalog product fits, we fabricate custom panels, gates, and architectural metalwork to your architect's specifications. Our fabrication partners produce laser-cut panels, cast ornamental details, and hand-forged elements that elevate the fencing from functional perimeter to design statement.

How We Work with Architects and Builders

Most of our residential projects begin with a set of architectural drawings and a conversation with the builder or architect. We produce shop drawings that detail every panel run, post location, gate elevation, and finish specification. The architect reviews and approves before we order materials — no surprises, no field decisions that compromise the design intent. We attend site coordination meetings, work within the builder's CPM schedule, and deliver punchlist-ready installations that do not hold up the certificate of occupancy.

The Details That Matter

Luxury fencing is about the details that commodity installers skip. We set posts plumb to within 1/16 inch using laser-guided alignment. Panel-to-panel transitions on grade changes are custom-racked or stair-stepped per the architectural specification — not field-bent. Gate hinges are adjustable stainless steel, not stamped brackets that sag within two years. Every weld is ground smooth and primed before the finish coat. Post caps are architectural-grade cast aluminum or steel — not hollow plastic snap-ons.

Investment Range

Luxury residential metal fencing projects typically range from $85 to $250 per linear foot depending on the material (iron vs. aluminum), profile complexity, height, and finish. A typical 500-foot estate perimeter with ornamental iron fencing and a 16-foot automated driveway gate runs $65,000 to $120,000. Architectural aluminum systems are 20 to 30 percent less than iron for comparable profiles. Custom fabrication for architecturally significant properties is priced per project.

Warranty and Service

We provide a 5-year workmanship warranty on all residential metal fencing installations — covering post alignment, panel leveling, gate operation, and finish adhesion. Material warranties are per manufacturer: typically lifetime structural on aluminum, 20 years on hot-dip galvanized iron, and 10 years on powder-coat finishes. Gate operators carry manufacturer warranties of 5 to 7 years. We honor warranty callbacks across all 13 service states.
