Metal Fabrication in North Vancouver
Our shop is here. Gates, railings, stairs and structural steel for North Shore homes — usually with a site visit the same week.
Our shop is at 5128 Francisco Court, so North Vancouver is home ground. That matters more than it sounds: we can get to a site in twenty minutes, take a measurement, go back to the shop and have steel on the table the same afternoon. For anything urgent — a torn gate hinge, a railing a home inspector has flagged before a sale — being local is the whole difference.
Building on a slope
Most North Van lots fall. That means stair guards to varying heights, railings that step rather than run level, and driveway gates on a grade where a swing leaf will foul the concrete before it is halfway open. We measure the fall on site rather than assuming it, and we will tell you when a slide gate is the only thing that will actually work.
Weather and finish
Rain, salt air and cedar debris are hard on metal here. We hot-dip galvanize before powder coat on anything permanently exposed, use stainless fasteners at the coast, and detail so water drains out of a frame instead of sitting inside it. It costs a little more up front and it is the reason our work outlasts the cheap version.
City and District permits
North Vancouver is two jurisdictions with different requirements, and guard heights and pool-gate rules get checked. We build to the BC Building Code standard the inspector will measure against, and we will tell you before we start if what you are asking for will not pass.
