M & P Iron Works and Fencing Inc designs, fabricates, and installs custom wrought iron, stainless steel, and wood fencing from its San Diego shop on Saranac Street between 67th and 68th Streets in College Area. Owner Max Paul founded the company in 2010, and the fabrication team brings over 20 years of metalworking experience to residential and commercial projects across the 92115 ZIP and greater San Diego County. The product line covers mechanical driveway gates — swing and sliding configurations with motor-driven automation — along with pedestrian walk gates, property-line fencing in ornamental iron and wrought iron patterns, and wood-and-iron hybrid privacy fences that pair wood-grain panels with steel framing. New fence and gate installations pair with landscape grading and planting on the same project timeline, and Armstrong Garden Centers on Mission Gorge Road in Grantville supplies the hardscape and softscape materials that frame iron fencing along residential property lines. All iron and steel products leave the shop galvanized and powder coated, a two-stage corrosion protection process that extends the finish life well beyond raw paint in the coastal-influenced climate. Interior and exterior hand railings, staircase balusters, Juliet balconies, and custom entry doors round out the architectural metalwork scope, with each piece hand-forged or MIG-welded to client-provided drawings or the shop's own design templates. Custom furniture commissions — tables, bed frames, wine racks, and shelving — extend the fabrication capabilities beyond construction into residential and commercial interiors. The Saranac Street shop sits in the residential grid south of El Cajon Boulevard near SDSU, keeping the fabrication yard within a short haul of installation sites throughout College Area, Del Cerro, and Allied Gardens. Exterior paint and stucco work that follows a new fence or gate installation goes through painting contractors in the area, and NORDBY PAINTING in College Area handles the wall-side finish coat after the ironwork is anchored and sealed. The company serves clients as far north as Sacramento and south into Rosarito, Mexico, with the Saranac Street shop handling fabrication and field crews traveling to remote install sites.
