Strongates Builders
Fence Contractor in Athens, AL
Built on Craftsmanship. Backed by Trust.
At Strongates Builders, we don’t just build fences, gates, decks, or patios — we build relationships rooted in trust, quality, and results that last. As a small, owner-operated construction company in
Athens, AL, we specialize in
custom outdoor structures that stand the test of time.

Our Story: A Builder's Standard
Weber Silva began his construction career more than 35 years ago in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where he developed a strong foundation in craftsmanship and hands-on building work. After coming to the United States, he continued his career in wood construction starting in 2018, gaining experience across a variety of exterior projects and outdoor structural work.
In 2024, Weber launched his own business to better serve the community with reliable, high-quality exterior construction services. His focus has always been on honest workmanship, clear communication, and delivering results that homeowners can rely on. Today, we continue to serve our customers with the same dedication and work ethic that Weber built his career on—providing dependable service and durable, well-crafted exterior projects for every home we work on.
