Artisan Design Concepts Handyman Division provides a sleek, durable sheet metal solution for privacy and curb appeal..
At Indian Creek Villas in Palm Desert, CA, the gate surrounding the community’s maintenance area was showing its age. The original wood paneling had weathered and begun to fail, leaving the gate looking rough and worn down. Beyond appearance, the deteriorating wood also compromised privacy and long-term durability.
That’s when the community reached out to Artisan Design Concepts Handyman Division. Our team specializes in practical solutions that are both functional and visually appealing.
The Problem
The existing gates were framed in steel but filled with wood paneling that had cracked, warped, and weathered from years of desert sun exposure. The community needed a solution that would restore privacy, security, and curb appeal—without requiring constant maintenance like wood panels often do.
The Solution
We carefully removed the failing wood panels while keeping the existing gate frames intact. Instead of replacing the old wood with new lumber, we upgraded the gates with durable sheet metal inserts. This choice gave the gates a sleek, modern look while also improving strength and privacy.
To complete the transformation, the frames and new panels were painted in a clean black finish, tying in with the surrounding masonry and landscape.
The Result
The difference is dramatic. What was once an eyesore is now a solid, streamlined, and private enclosure that blends seamlessly with the property. The new metal panels will stand up far better to the Coachella Valley’s extreme sun and weather, meaning less upkeep for the property management team and more long-term value for the residents.
???? At Artisan Design Concepts Handyman Division, we take pride in projects like these—where smart updates not only improve function but also elevate the look of a space. Whether it’s gates, fencing, carpentry, or property improvements, we’re here to help keep Coachella Valley properties looking their best.
