Straight answers.
The things people ask before they call. If yours is not here, the phone works: 801-691-3685.
- 01What does a railing, a fence or a gate cost?
- It depends on the length, the height and the style, which is why this site has a builder for each one. Put in your dimensions and you get an estimated range and a scale drawing straight away; the firm number comes from a free site visit, before any steel is cut. Garden boxes are the exception: those are exact, published prices.
- 02Are the garden box prices real?
- Yes. All fifteen sizes are on the garden box page exactly as printed on the shop’s price list, from $420 for a 2 ft × 1 ft × 12 in box in bare steel to $1,850 for 8 ft × 4 ft × 24 in powder coated. Other sizes and colours are quoted on request.
- 03How long does it take?
- Typically 1–2 weeks for garden boxes, 2–3 for railing and gates, and 3–4 for a fence, from the day the job is confirmed. Everything is fabricated in the shop first and set on site, so the install itself is usually a day.
- 04Are estimates and site visits free?
- Yes, both. Call or text, or send a spec from a builder, and one of the owners comes out to measure, check the grade and set the post line. No obligation.
- 05Where do you work?
- Utah County and surrounding areas: from Santaquin, Payson and Spanish Fork up to Provo, Orem, Lehi and the far side of the lake, and over the line to Nephi. The service area page lists every town with how far it is from the shop. Not on it? Ask anyway.
- 06Who am I talking to?
- Kelly and Braxton Staheli, father and son, who own the shop fifty-fifty. Kelly is on 801-691-3685 and Braxton is on 385-241-4679. There is no call centre and no sales team; the person who quotes the job is usually the one who welds it.
- 07Powder coat or paint?
- Powder coat. It is baked on, so it does not chip or peel the way paint does, and it holds its colour through Utah summers. White, black and bronze are standard; any colour is available on request. Bare steel is the other option, and it weathers to a rust patina on purpose.
- 08What is a wood-look metal privacy fence?
- Steel panels with a wood-grain powder coat: the look of cedar or barnwood, with nothing to warp, rot or grey. Eight grains are offered, from Rough Sawn Distressed Cedar to Chippy White, all on the fencing page. It is the answer for anywhere the wind takes a wood fence apart.
- 09Will the railing meet code?
- It is built to. The railing builder offers 34, 36, 38 and 42 inch heights with a note on where each applies, and pickets are drawn and built at the 4 inch maximum spacing. If your city or inspector has a specific requirement, tell us and it is built to that.
- 10Can you match a gate to a fence I already have?
- Yes. Walk gates and single or double drive gates are built to match the fence they hang in, on posts sized to carry them, with drop rods, cane bolts, self-closing hinges or a lockable latch as needed. Send a photo of the existing fence and the opening width.
- 11Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
- Sometimes, and it is yours to check with your city or HOA. What the shop can do is build exactly to the spec they give you and hand you a scale drawing to show them, which is what the builders on this site produce.
- 12Do you do one-off custom work?
- Yes: brackets, stands, frames, guards, repairs, the thing nobody else will quote. See custom fabrication. Pieces that are already built and for sale are listed at Custom & Other as they come off the bench.
