"It was great! I love them. They have good customer service, they have drop off and pick up and they were able to fix my car instead of offering a new tire. They also gave reasonable pricing."

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.

Welding questions, answered by experts

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

A steel beam is stronger than a wood beam and requires fewer vertical supports underneath, which means it’s a better option for larger structures or if you want an open space under your home that doesn’t have posts as obstructions. However, steel I-beams cost more than wood ones, and they can be difficult to install retroactively, as getting them into the basement area can be challenging, if not impossible.

Beams made out of traditional lumber can often only span 8 to 12 feet without requiring vertical supports, so if you want a wider opening to create a more open floor plan, you might need an LVL beam. LVL beams can span up to around 30 feet without the need for load-bearing walls or vertical supports underneath, making them a better option for keeping your home as open and airy as possible.

Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)
