A rusty iron fence looks like a lost cause. Usually it isn't.
Surface rust is a finish problem, not a structural one. What matters is whether the metal underneath is still solid.
That's the question good wrought iron fence repair in Missouri City, TX starts with. Missouri City Fence Repair repairs, refinishes and installs wrought iron and ornamental iron fences for homes and commercial properties across Fort Bend County. If a repair will do, we'll say so. If a section looks too far gone, we'll explain why we'd recommend replacing it.
Rust-through. Rust starts where paint has chipped, often at joints and the bottom rail. Surface rust can often be treated; rust that has eaten through usually means that piece needs replacing.
Broken welds. When one cracks, a picket can work loose or a panel can sag.
Leaning posts. Rust at the base, or Fort Bend's shifting clay soil, can pull a whole run out of line.
Damaged pickets and finials. Common after a storm or a bump from a vehicle or mower.
If the metal is still solid and the problem is in one spot, such as a weld, a post or a few pickets, it's usually a repair. If rust has thinned most of a panel, replacing that panel often makes more sense. And if most of the fence looks that way, we'll say so. When a new fence isn't the better value, we won't push one.
