The stump was in a corner, roots under and lifting 3 fences, with a 6-ft diameter, 2-ft hole on the back side. Some rusty old farm-fence was embedded in the stump. "Yes" his crew could take care of it, he said. We tentatively planned for next Monday. I coordinated with all of my neighbors, and contacted another Handyman friend, to remove the old chain link fences, and replace them once the stump was cleared. Proposals were reasonable, and due to forecast rain we rescheduled everybody ahead, for the coming Saturday. My handyman removed most of the fences the day before, leaving one (dog-yard) fence over-night. On Saturday everybody was there early. The last fence was removed as Mac's crew was clearing and chipping the brush. They chainsawed the trunk down to the root base (avoiding the embedded old farm-fence). Then the "Stump Grinder" (an awesome machine) began "eating" the stump. It took a lot of work to grind the stump into chips. The primary operator was very skilled with both the Grinder and a Bobcat front-bucket loader. He worked around the stump, "sawing" deep into the soil to cut deeper roots. Finally the stump core broke free and was out. Using the Bobcat, the root hole was filled and the entire area very carefully graded smooth. They also grubbed-out some Brush roots under one of the removed old fence-lines. While the crew raked the area, another previously left stump was ground out and it's area leveled. After Mac's crew left my Fence guy began replacing the fences. Overall a tough stump removal and clean-up went very well."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/lanham/mac-and-son-tree-expert-inc-reviews-247242.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"CATWALK FENCING & DECKING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Joel D."},"reviewBody":"Catwalk was great to work with, flexible with changes and had many suggestions on what we could do with our uneven ground.

They showed up when they said they would, and always called the day before to confirm. The day they were supposed to complete the fence, they called and rescheduled for the next day -- they were very polite and apologetic, explaining that a previous job was taking longer than expected. The next day, they showed up on time again, completed everything in just a few hours, and did a beautiful job! The finished job looked so professional and sturdy, and the finishing touches - like the lintels over the gates - were beautiful. I'm pleased every time I look out the back window, and every time I open the very sturdy and easy to open gates! It's not high wind season yet -- but I'm not worried. This fence seems like it will hold up just fine! Northwest Fence was not the cheapest bid we got -- but they had the best reviews, and now I see why.

Wrought Iron Fencing Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Nooksack, WA
With the advice of my salesman, Devin, I avoided some mistakes I didn't understand, and got an absolutely gorgeous fence. My neighbors tell me how nice it looks when they walk by.
A large old oak blew down, along our property-line, and before I could get a proposal for removal, my neighbor had the tree removed, leaving maybe 6 ft of the 3'ft diameter stump. I had called Mac because he had done excellent work for me before and I trusted him and his crew. The stump was...

Wrought Iron Fencing Repair questions, answered by experts
Most minor repairs, such as rust removal or repainting, can be completed in a few hours. More extensive repairs, such as welding or section replacement, may take one to two days, especially if custom fabrication or curing time for finishes is required. Always ask your contractor for a timeline before work begins.
The cost to repair a fence is about $600 for the average homeowner, but it can vary from around $305 to $5,450, depending on your fence type and the repairs needed.
Generally, you can expect to pay about $30 per foot for fence repairs. Most cost-effective options, like wood and chain link, average around $20 per foot, whereas luxury options, like brick, cost about $50 per foot. Consult a fence repair specialist to get an accurate estimate for your specific repair.
There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:
Are you licensed and certified?
How long have you been in the welding business?
Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long do you expect my welding project to take?
What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys.
The most common types of welding include:
Stick welding: $100–$1,000
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up
Gas welding: $150 and up
Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour
In most cases, wrought iron fencing will cause your property value to increase. Most types of fence—but especially high-quality wrought iron fences—make your home more secure and deter burglars, which adds to property value. Fences can also help keep children and pets safe, which most homebuyers will appreciate. Wrought iron fences are also highly decorative, and while they don’t provide much privacy, they do add to your home’s curb appeal, which often leads to higher home value.
