Modesto Gate Pros provides professional welding & gate fabrication in Modesto, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Central Valley. We keep our own shop and our own trucks, and on valley work that second half matters as much as the first. A thirty-six-foot cantilever leaf is not something you haul back into town to have one corner re-welded.
So a large share of what we do is mobile. We bring the welder, the generator and the grinder out to the property, cut out the damaged section, weld in new material, and prime and coat the repair on site. A gate that would otherwise be out of service for a week is usually running again the same afternoon. The generator matters as much as the welder, because there is no power at most of these gates.
The mobile work follows a fixed order. Support the leaf so it cannot move, cut the damage out back to sound metal, fit and weld new section with the frame held to the original geometry rather than to where it has settled, then grind, prime and coat the repair before we leave. Skip the support step and you weld a bend into the frame permanently, which is the repair we most often get called to undo.
Equipment damage is the most common reason we are called. A disc caught the bottom rail, a trailer clipped the leading edge, a loader bucket found the top corner. Those repairs are almost always cheaper than replacement, and a straightened, re-welded frame with a fresh coat is genuinely as good as it was.
In the shop we build wrought iron and ornamental steel, welded aluminum, cantilever frames and counterbalance tails, structural posts and pilaster cores, ranch brands and monograms, hinges and latch hardware, and frames for wood or composite cladding. Everything is welded and dressed rather than bolted together. Bolted joints work loose on a gate this size, so everything is welded and dressed.
We fabricate to the measured opening every time. Rural openings are rarely square and rarely the dimension anybody remembers, especially where a post has moved or the drive has been regraded, so we measure on site, build to what is actually there, and set hardware to hang plumb from posts that are not. Two of those numbers usually disagree, which is why we take all of them.
Finishing is not an afterthought here. Blast to clean metal, hot-dip galvanize or zinc prime, powder coat inside and out, weep the bottom rail. Irrigation water and winter fog will find anything left bare, and a beautiful weld under a thin coat rusts at exactly the same rate as a bad one. Zinc under powder is two barriers rather than one, which is what buys the extra decade.
With 20+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, welded aluminum ranch and estate gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Modesto and nearby communities including Ceres, Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale.

Materials, equipment and how we do welding & gate fabrication
The difference between welding & gate fabrication that lasts and welding & gate fabrication that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, welded aluminum ranch and estate gates, cantilever and roller slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Modesto job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of gate work in the Central Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
