"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

Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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.

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.
