"Seven 13 arrived on site at the time they had agreed to. They started to work right away. They were very professional. They worked straight through and finished this project in one day. They removed the old railing and installed a hand made rail to our apartment house. It looked tremendous and has held up extremely well. We are very satisfied with the way this installation came out. When Seven 13 left, the area was cleaned up and looked like they hadn't been there. I would hire them to do another rail project if we have one in the future and I would recommend them to anyone that needed iron work."
"The workmanship was great and patio looks great. Problem is that they tore up a lot of our existing lawn and the repair they did was not good at all."
"Vinc came and gave estimate and was very professional. The original job turned into a bigger job and he handled that very well. He was upfront with us on any changes in cost and completed the project professionally and skillfully."
"I had a small job, to have two yards of clean gravel delivered to my driveway for a paver project. Christian called me almost immediately after my Angi request, and gave me a quote. He delivered on time, and his customer service was spectacular. Probably the best service I’ve had since I’ve been using Angi. I’d highly recommend him to everyone."

You can buy wrought iron fencing from a trusted fence installation company near you. You could also opt to buy it privately from a homeowner who is interested in recycling their own wrought iron materials. Manufacturers stopped mass production of wrought iron as steel became more affordable to produce, so you likely won't find it in any local big box stores.
Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.
The cost to build a fence is about $3,100 on average, but you could pay anywhere from $400 to $13,700 or more. Your cost will depend on the length, height, and materials for the fence. If you hire a professional installer, labor costs typically represent about half of the total cost of the project. This means you potentially can save quite a bit of money doing the work yourself.
