Gates & metal
A tired steel gate was given a careful new beginning. Birmingham Sandblasting used controlled, surface-conscious cleaning to lift failing paint and accumulated grime while respecting the gate's profiles and decorative details. The result was a clean, even metal surface ready for a durable protective finish and a smarter entrance appearance.

What was needed
Assess and protect the gate and surrounding area; remove loose, weathered coatings and surface contamination with a controlled low-impact blasting approach; work progressively around the frame, rails, joints and details; check for an even, sound substrate; and leave the gate prepared for priming and repainting. The emphasis was on measured restoration rather than aggressive removal that could mark or distort the metal.
