"Derrick has made five items for me to give. I gave him the idea of what I wanted for each, the verse and picture, emblem, etc. From this, he did his magic and produced 5 beautiful remembrance plaques. One incorporated the Tree of Life, one a magnificent sunflower and three used the Marine emblem. More are on order. Each item was reasonably priced. His company is very busy but good things come to those who are patient."

We design, fabricate, and install custom ornamental Iron Gates, Railings, Banisters, Sculptures, Signs and more. Hand crafted in Pittsburgh PA.
"The craftsmanship was superb, it was really a work of art. However, admin constantly said one thing and did another, and did not fulfill their contract. The contract stated they were to provide handrail accents, which they never did, but still expected to be paid the full price. They claimed that we actually owed even more because there were change orders! (There never were any change orders). Also, we never got a chance to approve the design, and the finish was not what we selected."

"He seemed like an accurate and knowledgeable professional but the end result is awful. The railings are rusting and the metal is not straight in several places. I gave him several opportunities to fix it but I just keep getting excuses. I don't even want him on my property. I will have to rip it out and start over once I save enough again."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts
Pictures of the area where you want your handrail installed should help get an accurate estimate. You should also let your professional know how accessible the installation location is, and whether or not there is a pre-existing railing to remove. Also, before contacting the pro, take some time to decide what type of wrought iron you are leaning toward.
Finally, have the overall length of your railing at the ready, so you can discuss prefabricated options versus custom-made options.
Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
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.
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.
Metal fences can last over 30 years if maintained correctly. Strong weather, abuse from animals or people, and lower-quality material will all shorten the lifespan of a metal fence. Galvanized metal will last longer because it has a protective barrier. Sheet metal and corrugated metal tend to rust faster than solid pieces like those you see in a split rail fence.
