Our team provides contact edges that reverse the leaf and key switch fire access, delivering clean flat-top detailing for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and an 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel, our 1,483 completed projects include flat-top estate entries on the lake and plain walk gates behind them.
From the first code check to the final latch test, our team handles every detail. Serving Lakeway and neighboring West Lake Hills, Steiner Ranch and Cedar Park, we draw every top rail against the local rule before we weld it.

What you can hold us to
Maribel in Rough Hollow had a 16 ft opening between new limestone columns on a lake-view home, with a gate that had to pass the flat-top rule. It was an estimated $6,400 to $7,900 job that typically took 2 to 3 days.
Joelle on the Lohmans Crossing side wanted a harder gate to climb, without the spear tops the city no longer allows, so we built an 8 ft single leaf. That security gate was an estimated $3,500 to $4,800 and typically took 1 to 2 days.
Tess on Lakeway Drive had a second-floor balcony with a view of the water and a wood guard failing at the anchors. We replaced it with 24 linear feet of iron guard, an estimated $1,900 to $2,900 job that typically took 6 to 10 hours.
A 2019 ordinance bans new spiked and open picket fencing, and all fencing needs a continuous flat top. A permit is needed for a new fence and for repairs that change the design, so confirm current text with the city before you order.
Joelle's 8 ft spear-free gate shows why, since a flat-top rail is the one detail that keeps a harder-to-climb gate inside the rule. We choose the flat-top rail, spear or finial against the local code, and in Lakeway that choice is made for us.
An old fence can be retrofit with a welded rail across the tops or new flat-top panels on the old posts, which saves the footings. An ornamental tube steel fence line is estimated at $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days, and an old iron blast and recoat is roughly $31 to $48 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days. Wood is banned where it is visible from a golf course, so a steel fence is the usual answer on those lots.
Lakeway owners usually pick security gates for a harder climb and estate entry gates between columns. Every frame is 14-gauge tube on 11-gauge rails, sandblasted, primed with zinc-rich primer and powder coated at the coater. A trackless cantilever gate is estimated at $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days, and a track slide gate with rack drive is roughly $1,700 to $4,800 over 2 to 3 days.
An ornamental stair or balcony guard in Lakeway is estimated at $68 to $132 per linear foot, and the crew typically finishes in 5 to 10 hours. A tube steel single swing drive gate with operator is roughly $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days, and a double leaf swing entry with operators is an estimated $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days.
An operator added to an existing gate is typically $1,900 to $3,700 over 4 to 8 hours, and a video intercom and keypad entry is roughly $750 to $4,300 over 4 to 8 hours. Lakeway's median owner-occupied home value is $841,300 (ACS 2024), and 86.3% of homes are owner occupied. Lakeway prices here are estimates that can change if the city's flat-top rule or the lot forces a different rail, and the written quote we prepare once the top rail is drawn sets the final price and the schedule.
A keyed or coded gate means the owner gives the codes to police and installs a key switch for Travis County ESD #6. We wire the key switch into the operator at install, so the fire crew's access works when the power is out. Battery backup keeps the leaf moving, and a walkway or courtyard entry gate beside the drive is estimated at $650 to $1,450 over 4 to 8 hours.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to Lakeway is typically 36 minutes, the longest on our western route, so we schedule Lakeway work in a single visit. A Lakeway gate leaves with the same 18-month workmanship warranty on its welds, hinge set and footings as any other, and operators carry the maker's own parts warranty.
We work Rough Hollow, Lakeway Drive and the Lohmans Crossing side, and the same crew crosses into Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills the same week. Communities past the lake are listed on our service area page.
Lakeway owners often pair a new gate with iron balconies, and a retrofit usually starts as wrought iron fencing. A gate with a fire key switch can use gate access control. A lake-view deck often suits cable railings. A pool barrier with self-closing gate is estimated at $32 to $44 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, and a quarterly gate service plan is roughly $90 to $110 per gate per visit.
