Custom Gates and Smart Retrofit in Novi, Michigan
Free estimates on custom fabrication, retrofits, and pool safety gates.
313 Gates builds custom iron driveway gates, wires up smart-access retrofits, and fits pool safety gates for homeowners in Novi, Michigan, about 24.7 miles from our Metro Detroit base. Novi has grown fast over the past two decades, and a lot of that growth shows up as large, newer-construction subdivisions around Island Lake and Village Oaks, exactly the kind of properties that need both a driveway gate and a compliant pool barrier on the same project. Novi's median household income runs well above the Metro Detroit average, and three requests come up more than any other here: a custom gate built to match the house rather than pulled from a catalog, a retrofit that adds app control or a keypad to an existing operator, and a pool safety gate that self-closes and self-latches to meet Michigan's barrier requirements. From the newer subdivisions near Meadowbrook Lake to the retail corridor around Twelve Oaks, the same crew fabricating a driveway gate this week is fitting a pool enclosure gate next week.
Every zip, every subdivision.

Novi questions, answered.
Do you install pool safety gates on new-construction properties in Novi?
Yes. Novi's newer subdivisions near Island Lake and Village Oaks often pair a driveway gate project with a pool safety gate, and 313 Gates fits both into the same estimate. A pool gate is built to self-close and self-latch to meet Michigan's barrier code, and it can be finished to match the driveway gate's style.
Do you serve the subdivisions near Meadowbrook Lake and Greenwood Oaks?
Yes. 313 Gates serves all of Novi, including the neighborhoods around Meadowbrook Lake, Greenwood Oaks, Island Lake, and Village Oaks. Custom fabrication, retrofit, and pool-gate work run on the same schedule as repair calls, so a new-construction property doesn't wait behind a routine fix for a design job.
Do I need a permit for a new custom gate or pool gate in Novi?
Likely yes for both. Michigan generally requires a licensed contractor to pull a permit once a project's value crosses $600, which covers nearly every custom gate or pool-barrier installation. Novi applies its own height, setback, and pool-code rules on top of that state threshold. Check the metro Detroit gate permit guide before a design gets finalized.
Can you match a custom gate to a house near the Twelve Oaks retail corridor?
Yes. Custom iron gates are fabricated to match the property, its fence line, and its house style, rather than pulled from a stock catalog, whether the home sits in an established Novi neighborhood or a newer subdivision near the Twelve Oaks corridor. Send a photo of the house and 313 Gates can quote a design built around it.
