"I can?t say enough good things about Neale and his brother Jerome.  I called on a Sunday night and left a message for a repair to the wrought iron railings on my front steps and landing.  Jerome called me Monday morning. He was very professional and friendly. He asked me to take pictures of the railing and email them to him. I thought that was a little unconventional, but it worked out very well. It saved him the time of driving down to look at it and my taking off work to meet him.

Neale called me that evening after I sent the pictures. He was bubbly and a pleasure to talk to. A few of the railing posts had rusted so badly they were no longer attached. The hand rails were covered in rust. I told Neale the whole thing would need to be replaced for sure.  He said he?d be happy to replace it, but he knew he could repair it. I was skeptical, but if I could save the cost of replacement, why not?  Neale could have had a bigger job if he agreed to replace the railings, but he did the honest and professional thing. He only did what was needed.  I didn?t want to take time off to be here when the job was done. Neale said that was ok if I had an outside electrical outlet available for his equipment. Unfortunately, I don?t.  I offered to run an extension cord out the window, but he was concerned if he tripped a breaker, not only could he not finish the job, but I might lose power to something important in the house.  It was very thoughtful that he was concerned about such things as how it might affect me. Then he offered to come the next Saturday to fit my schedule. 

 The day of the repair, they were running about 30 minutes late and they called beforehand to let me know.  Neale and Jerome showed up full of smiles and laughter. They got right to work and completed the job in only 2 hours. Neale deftly, cut out the damage posts and welded in new ones. Jerome got to work sanding away the rusted handrails. After they painted the entire thing, it is as good as new. I can?t even tell the repair to the posts was done.  

Neale did a great job. I recommend him highly."

"I want to give them a better rating but unfortunately, he charged a lot of money $150.00 to unstick one bedpost. He ask me for a hammer so I left the room and well-basically he cut high into the post and there was a piece of useless metal that was possibly rusted to I the post. unfortunately, they make cuts higher than what was needed. Afterward, he told me to get some black silicone caulk to fill in and I could brown spray paint the metal. Itâ s a lot of work. I will probably see a welder for repair work.I think the money is a bit excessive for the cutting. I am moving so this bed needed to be dismantled. He did get my post part for which I am grateful."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

No, fence posts aren’t always set in concrete. If you don’t want to use concrete footings for your posts, expanding foam is a popular alternative. Expanding foam and concrete each have certain pros and cons. For instance, foam is easier to install and more sustainable, but concrete is sturdier and less expensive.

A high-quality wrought iron fence is one of the most durable options available and can last a lifetime, or even centuries, with proper care. However, wrought iron is susceptible to rust and corrosion if not maintained.

To maximize its lifespan, regular maintenance is required. This includes:

  • Cleaning the fence with soapy water every six months.

  • Scrubbing away any rust or corrosion as soon as it appears.

  • Applying a new coat of paint or refinishing the fence every few years to protect the metal from moisture and oxygen. The recommended frequency varies, with sources suggesting anywhere from every 1 to 10 years.

If significant rust develops, it's wise to hire a professional fence repair company to clean the rust and reseal the fence. The cost to refinish a fence is typically between $5 and $12 per square foot, a worthwhile investment to ensure its longevity.

While wood fencing is versatile and durable, there are other fence material options to consider. Check out our comprehensive list of the Best Types of Fences for Your Home to browse through some other fencing materials. Popular types include metal fencing, such as aluminum and chain link, and wood alternatives, such as vinyl or composite fencing.

If you hire a fence installer for the project, the time it takes to build a fence is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.
