Perpetua Iron represents 59 years of experience in metalcraft. We design, build and install decorative wrought iron and architectural components to custom specifications. We also repair and restore existing ironwork. Perpetua Iron has two veteran designers/fabricators on staff and may subcontract work out to one of a few trusted fabricators as our workload demands. We work with customers to develop the design, fabricate the work with an eye to detail, then carefully and sensitively install the work on site. Two of our owners are dedicated home renovators, so we are familiar with the demands that old railing and old homes present. Because of this background, we work well with do-it-yourselfers, rehabbers, renovators and home improvement professionals. We provide free design consultations and are prompt with bids. We know your time is valuable and will never take you or your business for granted. We specialize in custom-built ornamental ironwork, but are also skilled in installing prefabricated components, repairing rusted or damaged railing and gates, and matching existing metal design elements. Perpetua Iron is not a misspelling - we named the company after Perpetua, a woman who was martyred in the 3rd century for refusing to denounce her beliefs. We thought it was about time that this iron maiden had an iron business named after her.

Customers say: Super punctual
1967 years of experience

Unique Heating and Cooling has been around since 1967. We are family owned and we treat our customers and employees as being part of that family. John, the owner is present on the first day of all installations to walk through all the details with the installers as well as there at the end to answer any questions the customer may have.

"I contracted with Unique to replace my Unico high velocity A/C blower and evaporator units for my A/C system. They completed the job and I paid $13,000. A couple months later I had another HVAC company come to check on another one of my A/C units (I have multiple zones in my house). They saw Unique's work and told me: (a) Unique had installed a 5 ton unit instead of the appropriate 3 ton unit (they can charge more for a 5 ton unit); and (b) Unique had cut a number of holes in my attic ductwork. Because the 5 ton unit was too large for the system, the Unique installers cut open holes in my attic ductwork to relieve air pressure make the system "work." i contacted the manufacturer of the system, Unico, who told me that a 5 ton unit required a minimum of 30 air ducts for the system to function properly. My system only had 17 air ducts, meaning that Unique had installed a system that was way too large, and had tried to make it work by cutting up the ducts. As a consequence, my A/C system was unable to cool a room below 74 degrees during the summer, but my attic was a cool 65 degrees! The bottom line is that John, the owner who came to do the specs, never went up to my attic to check the system, or even went around my house to check how many air ducts the system served. Consequently, he really had no idea of the size of system that should have been installed. I have since hired another HVAC company to correct the errors that Unique made at a cost of $14,500. I will never hire Unique again (they originally installed my system 20 years ago, but were owned by someone else). They do lazy, shoddy work."

Abbey Fence Company is a small family owned business that does all work by contract only. We accept checks, cash, and credit cards.

"Fantastic work! Was having difficulty getting any of the large fence companies to be able to look at my project- "too small for them". Many suggested next door, thumbtack, angi. So I put in my info at Angi and they suggested about 3-5 companies- Abbey Fence was the first. I called the company number and was answered by the owner J. Kellerman. We talked for about 20 minutes and I sent him info and pic of the work area. J scheduled me for a Friday visit and he called me the AM of to alert that they would be out early PM. He called again to alert me they were leaving their first site and were coming to mine. He showed up shortly and looked over the project- commented that it was small job so they'd be charging the minimum- he'd established this already on our first talk. He and staff worked the job- replaced a few items that had some bad rust on it. They finished the job in a few hours and even added some paint to spruce up the chain link. When done, the fence was in better shape then before it got taken down- very straight and hung well with clearance to move better. Would highly recommend this company and will plan on using them for any future major fence work. KUDOS ALL AROUND FOR THE WORK DONE, TIMELINESS, COMMUNICATION, AND COST."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. Building permits for wrought iron fencing typically cost between $150 and $500, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you’re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around $500, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.

Wrought iron fencing is the most expensive type of fence. Expect to pay between about $25 to $35 per linear foot for a wrought iron fence panel. The cost of installing a wood fence varies depending on the quality of the wood, but you can expect to pay between $1 and $15 per linear foot for the lumber.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

Installing a fence when the ground is frozen presents challenges, but it's possible with the right approach. First, mark and measure the fence line accurately. Use a power auger or manual post-hole digger to create holes in the frozen ground, ideally when it's less rigid during warmer parts of the day. Consider using pre-made fence post anchors or driving metal posts into the ground. Ensure posts are secure with concrete for stability. Allow extra time for the concrete to cure. Additionally, be cautious of frost heave, which may affect post-alignment. Installing in milder winter conditions is often more manageable.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence.
