Handcrafted Wood Gate Excellence
Our skilled carpenters build wood gates that are both beautiful and built to last. Using premium cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine, we craft gates that perfectly complement your wood fence while providing smooth, reliable operation. From simple board-on-board privacy gates to elaborate arched designs with lattice tops, every gate is custom-built on-site to exact measurements for a perfect fit.
Design Flexibility
Wood offers more design flexibility than any other gate material. We build privacy gates with solid boards for complete seclusion. Picket gates with pointed or dog-ear tops for charming garden access. Board-on-board gates that match the overlapping pattern of your privacy fence. Lattice-top gates that add visual interest and airflow. Horizontal slat gates for a modern aesthetic. Whatever your vision, wood makes it possible.
Built to Operate Smoothly
A wood gate that sticks, sags, or swings open on its own is frustrating. We prevent these problems with proper construction techniques: steel-braced frames that resist sagging, oversized posts set deep in concrete to handle the gate's weight, and adjustable heavy-duty hinges that maintain alignment over time. Anti-sag gate kits with diagonal cable tensioners ensure your gate stays square and functional for years.
Finishing & Protection
Every wood gate we install receives the same level of wood treatment and finishing as your fence. We apply end-grain sealant to all cut surfaces, use stainless steel fasteners that won't rust or stain the wood, and recommend professional-grade stain or paint to protect against Staten Island's weather. With proper finishing and periodic maintenance, your wood gate will provide 15-25 years of reliable service.

What wood is best for gates in Staten Island?
Cedar is our top recommendation for gates due to its natural rot resistance, light weight, and beautiful appearance. Its lighter weight compared to other woods reduces stress on hinges and posts, leading to better long-term gate performance.
