Iron Work
Iron Work in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA
Iron work is a key component in both the structure and the style of a building. From foundational reinforcements to ornamental finishes, iron delivers unmatched strength with the ability to take on highly specific forms. At C.J. Skeeles General Contractor, iron work is an integral part of our service offerings in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA, where we fabricate and install everything from support beams to custom handrails.
Our iron work is not one-size-fits-all. Each project is designed around the architecture of the building, the functionality of the space, and the safety requirements of the site. Whether we’re reinforcing a structure or fabricating a detailed gate, every weld and joint is handled with precision.
Structural Iron for Framing and Load Support
When buildings require steel framing or supplemental iron for structural load distribution, precision matters. We fabricate and install structural steel components such as I-beams, columns, and angle supports to strengthen framing or accommodate remodels that involve removing load-bearing walls.
In Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA commercial and multi-story buildings, this type of work is often required to meet seismic standards or to modify the original layout of a building without compromising integrity. We work directly with engineers to ensure each piece is fabricated to spec and installed with accurate connections and full code compliance.
These components are often concealed within walls or ceilings but play a critical role in a building’s safety and longevity.
Custom Railings and Stair Systems
Railings serve a dual purpose—they ensure safety on stairs, balconies, and walkways while also contributing to the overall visual profile of a space. We fabricate and install custom iron railings that are code-compliant and built to fit the exact dimensions of your project.
In Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA homes and businesses, we install:
- Indoor and outdoor stair railings
- Balcony and deck guardrails
- ADA-compliant handrails for accessibility
We can match modern minimalist styles with clean lines or design more decorative patterns when the architecture calls for something traditional. Each system is designed with the appropriate picket spacing, height, and anchoring to meet both function and form.
Gates, Fencing, and Entry Systems
Iron gates and fences offer long-term durability, low maintenance, and a professional look that complements a variety of architectural styles. We build and install swing gates, sliding gates, and perimeter fencing for both residential and commercial properties throughout Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA.
These systems often include automation, locks, or keypad entry and are fabricated to withstand constant use and exposure to the elements. Our gates are designed for secure access, but also to integrate visually with surrounding materials like stucco, concrete, or wood.
Whether enclosing a courtyard or securing a driveway, we ensure the final product fits the property’s layout, grade, and usage.
On-Site Welding and Installation
Not all iron work can be fabricated and installed in a single step. Many projects in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA require on-site welding and field fitting to ensure perfect alignment, especially on older buildings with existing deviations or uneven surfaces.
We provide mobile welding services for field modifications, repairs, or final installation work. This allows us to make precise adjustments on location without the delays of offsite refabrication. All welds meet industry strength standards and are completed by trained professionals experienced in working on both structural and decorative components.
This service is especially valuable on custom staircases, handrails, and other installations where millimeter level precision matters.
