Wrought Iron & Ornamental Steel Gates
Custom ornamental metal gates, structural repairs and finish restoration for distinctive frontage.
Custom ornamental metal gates, structural repairs and finish restoration for distinctive frontage.
The familiar wrought-iron look is often fabricated from ornamental steel. We explain the material being specified rather than treating the traditional style name as proof of solid wrought iron.
Open pickets, scrollwork and shaped tops can be coordinated with existing fencing. During repair, the key question is whether the surrounding frame and hinge areas remain sound enough to support a lasting welded repair.
Look beyond surface rust
- Metal loss around hinge plates
- Cracks beside decorative welds
- A bowed frame or failing bottom rail
- Coating blisters exposing corroded metal
Assess structure, then restore appearance
We inspect the load-bearing frame, welds and supports before recommending a localized repair. Weak surrounding material cannot be made sound by welding a patch onto it.
New work starts with measurements and a pattern review. We select the specified metal sections, fabricate the frame and discuss preparation and coating suited to the property's exposure.
Ornamental choices
- Open pickets and scrollwork
- A traditional appearance with visibility through the leaf.
- Coordinated walk-through gate
- Match the design while selecting separate latch and exit hardware.
- Repair and refinishing
- Scope depends on metal condition and access to prepare the surfaces properly.
What affects the scope and the price
- Pattern complexity and section sizes
- Extent of corrosion or frame distortion
- Preparation and finish method
- Hinges, supports and automation loads
What's included
- Ornamental pattern fabrication
- Frame and weld assessment
- Hinge and latch repair
- Coating preparation and finish options
Repair coating damage early
Inspect welds, lower rails and hardware for coating damage. Avoid persistent sprinkler spray and arrange a structural assessment if rust has reduced the metal around a hinge or support.
