Who we are

Quality built into every step.

With more than 40 years in the guardrail industry, our team brings deep expertise and proven craftsmanship to every project.

At AGS, we believe that quality goes beyond the finished product, it’s built into every step of the process. From preconstruction planning to final installation, we are committed to precision, safety, and attention to detail. Our experience allows us to navigate complex projects while delivering reliable, efficient solutions that meet both design intent and performance standards.

Something AGS has that our competitors don’t is a field installation team of our own, in house. Instead of a contracted crew of installers who are unfamiliar with our clients, you’ll see the same AGS superintendent on every project, and that makes every project run smoother.

As a family business, we take pride in the relationships we build. Our approach is rooted in integrity, accountability, and a dedication to customer service that sets us apart. We partner closely with general contractors, architects, and owners to ensure every project is completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

Whether it’s glass railing, cable rail or custom metal, AGS is committed to delivering lasting results and a level of service our clients can depend on.
