Three generations of family metalwork — just 10 minutes from our Ventura shop, delivering marine-grade craftsmanship to Oxnard's coastal communities.
Legendary Metal Works Inc. has been building custom metalwork for Ventura County since 2000 — and Oxnard's distinct coastal environment is something we know better than anyone. Our Ventura workshop on McGrath St is just 10 minutes from Oxnard, which means fast site visits, efficient deliveries, and hands-on project oversight from start to finish. No long-distance contractor delays — just local craftsmanship and accountability.
Oxnard presents a unique metalwork challenge: properties at Oxnard Shores, Mandalay Bay, and Channel Islands Harbor sit within direct salt-air exposure zones where standard steel can oxidize in months without proper treatment. That's why we developed our Marine-Grade Coastal Package — hot-dip galvanizing, 316 stainless steel hardware, and a multi-layer powder-coat system engineered specifically for oceanfront and harbor-adjacent properties.
Inland, Port Hueneme military housing and surrounding neighborhoods call for durable, secure perimeter solutions, while the fast-growing River Park community and commercial properties near The Collection demand modern, architecturally refined metalwork that complements contemporary design. And out in the strawberry fields and ranch properties of the Oxnard Farms area, our heavy-duty agricultural and estate gates deliver the security and longevity that working properties require. With 500+ completed projects across Ventura County, we've handled it all.
Family-owned since 2000 — three generations of metalworking knowledge applied to every project, from simple side gates to full estate entries.
Over 500 custom gates, railings, fences, and metal doors installed across Ventura County, including dozens in Oxnard's coastal neighborhoods.

Most custom driveway gate projects in Oxnard range from $8,000 to $35,000, depending on size, style, automation, and location. Coastal properties at Oxnard Shores, Mandalay Bay, or Channel Islands Harbor typically invest in our Marine-Grade Coastal Package, which adds 316 stainless hardware, hot-dip galvanizing, and a multi-layer powder-coat system — extending the life of your gate significantly in a salt-air environment. Port Hueneme and inland Oxnard projects often fall in the mid range. We provide free on-site estimates tailored to your property, with no obligation.
Most Oxnard projects are completed within 6 to 10 weeks from design approval to final installation. This includes design finalization, fabrication in our Ventura shop, permit processing (if required), and installation. Because we're just 10 minutes away, we can schedule site visits quickly, reduce material transit time, and respond to any on-site questions in person — unlike contractors based further away. Simple projects such as pedestrian gates may move faster; large estate entries or multi-element projects may require additional time.
Yes — the City of Oxnard generally requires building permits for new motorized driveway gates and fences over a certain height. Properties within the Coastal Zone (including Oxnard Shores, Mandalay Bay, Silver Strand, and Channel Islands Harbor) may also require a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission or city. As a licensed contractor (CA Lic #1119503), we handle the entire permitting process on your behalf — preparing drawings, submitting applications, and coordinating inspections so the project moves forward smoothly.
Salt air is Oxnard's biggest challenge for metal — and it's one we've spent 25+ years engineering solutions for. Our Marine-Grade Coastal Package combines hot-dip galvanizing (which bonds zinc directly to the steel), 316-grade stainless steel fasteners and hardware, and a premium multi-layer powder-coat finish that seals out moisture at the molecular level. For properties right on the water at Oxnard Shores or around Channel Islands Harbor, we recommend this package as standard. Inland properties in River Park or Port Hueneme can often use our standard powder-coat system with excellent long-term results.
Yes. We regularly serve residential and commercial customers in Port Hueneme, including properties near the Naval Base Ventura County area. Military housing and neighboring residential streets often benefit from durable perimeter fencing, secure driveway gates, and access control integration. We understand the security needs of these properties and can design solutions that meet HOA guidelines or base-adjacent requirements. Our team is licensed, insured, and experienced working with structured community environments.
