Custom metalwork in San Antonio

Yes. Klema Builders fabricates and installs custom steel and iron gates, railings, stairs, iron fencing, custom fabrication, metal buildings, barndominium structures and carports, and structural steel across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. Every metalwork job is quoted fixed-price after a free site visit, because span, steel weight, finish and site access decide the number.

Metalwork is quoted fixed-price after a site visit, not from a published price list, because the span, the steel weight, the finish and the site access change the number more than any range would. Gates, railings, stairs, iron fencing, fabrication and buildings each get a written quote line by line within 3 to 5 business days of the visit. The site visit and the quote are free.

Because two gates that sound identical on the phone can be very different jobs. A 16-foot driveway gate on an exposed Hill Country lot needs heavier posts, deeper footings and more bracing than the same width in a sheltered city yard, and an opener adds power and conduit. We measure the opening, check the ground and the wind exposure, and confirm the finish, then write one fixed price. Metalwork does not carry a published price list, and we would rather say so than print a range that does not survive the site visit. Every job, iron fencing included, is quoted after we measure. The visit is free. We measure the opening or the run, check the ground and the wind exposure, confirm the finish and any automation or electrical, and look at how the steel gets to the site. Within 3 to 5 business days you get a written fixed-price quote line by line: steel, fabrication, finish, footings, hardware, installation and any permit or engineering. The number you sign is the number you pay.

Custom steel and iron gates and entryways, deck and stair railings including cable rail, exterior steel stairs and handrails, wrought iron fencing and metal panels, general welding and custom fabrication, metal buildings with roll-up and walk-in doors, barndominium steel structures and carports, and structural steel and warehouse erection built to stamped drawings.

Most of the metalwork we build sits next to a deck, a patio or a driveway. A driveway gate sets the first impression of the property and carries the most wind load, so it is sized to the span and the gusts an open lot actually sees. Railings and exterior stairs are fabricated to the exact rise, run and angle of the structure and built to current IRC code. Iron fencing secures a property line without closing off the view, and custom fabrication covers the pergola brackets, privacy screens, planters and fire features that make a space feel designed rather than assembled.

Yes. The steel work scales up. We build shop, storage and workspace buildings with roll-up and walk-in doors, frame barndominium shells and carports for the span and openings the finished space needs, and erect structural steel and warehouse frames to stamped engineered drawings. On Hill Country lots the slab and footings matter as much as the steel, so every structure is set on a foundation engineered for the soil and wind exposure of the site. Larger structures are reviewed case by case, and we say plainly when a project is not a fit.
