Wrought Iron & Metal Fence Repair in Lincoln, CA
Iron fencing carries the property's dress code — view fencing along golf course lots, pool enclosures, courtyard gates, the low ornamental runs that frame a front yard. When it rusts through at the bottom or a picket works loose enough to rattle in the wind, the whole frontage reads neglected. The good news: iron is the most repairable fencing there is. It's metal. It welds.
How Iron Fails Here
- Rust at the base. Sprinkler spray plus soil splash eats pickets and posts from the bottom inch up. Caught early it's wire-wheel, convert, prime, paint. Caught late, we cut out the cancer and weld in new steel.
- Broken welds. Factory panels are tack-welded at best; gates slamming and thermal cycling crack them loose. Pickets that rattle or spin get re-welded properly.
- Sagging gates. Iron gates are heavy, and their hinges wear oval. We rebush or replace hinges, square the frame, and re-hang — see gate repair for the deeper treatment.
- Impact damage. A bent panel from a car or a falling limb gets cut free, straightened or refabricated, and welded back in place.
Welded, Primed, Painted — On Site
We bring the welder to the fence. Repairs are ground smooth, treated with rust converter where steel stays, primed with a direct-to-metal primer, and finished in gloss or satin black (or matched to your color). A weld left bare is a repair with an expiration date, so paint isn't an add-on — it's the last step of every metal repair we do.
Pool Fences Are Life-Safety Equipment
A lot of Lincoln and Granite Bay iron is pool barrier, and pool barriers have rules: minimum height, limited gaps, and gates that self-close and self-latch away from the pool. If your pool gate doesn't swing itself shut and click, that's not a squeak — that's the system failing at its one job. We repair and re-hardware pool gates to barrier requirements and check the run's gaps while we're there.
What It Costs
Iron repair in Lincoln typically runs $250–$1,200: re-welds and hardware at the low end, base-rust cut-outs with new steel mid-range, and refabricated panels or heavy gates at the top. Iron work is quoted from photos more accurately than any other fence type — rust shows exactly what it is on camera. Send pictures of the worst spots and the whole run, and you'll get a real number fast.
Iron Fence Questions
Can rusted iron fencing be saved?
Usually. Surface rust gets wire-wheeled, converted, primed, and painted. Rust-through gets cut out and replaced with new welded steel. Only a fence rusted thin across most of its length is past saving — and we'll tell you if yours is.
How much does wrought iron fence repair cost?
Typically $250–$1,200 in the Lincoln area. Re-welding loose pickets and refreshing hardware sits low; cutting out rusted bases and welding in new steel lands mid-range; refabricating bent panels or rebuilding heavy gates tops the range.
Do you weld on site?
Yes — repairs are welded in place, ground smooth, primed, and painted the same visit in most cases. You don't need to haul panels anywhere, and the repair doesn't sit bare-metal waiting for a painter.
My pool gate doesn't self-close anymore. Is that urgent?
Treat it as urgent — self-closing, self-latching gates are the core of a pool barrier. It's usually a spring-hinge and latch fix done in one visit, and we'll check the rest of the barrier's gaps while we're there.
Can you match my fence's existing style and color?
Yes. Standard picket profiles and finials are sourceable, custom pieces can be fabricated, and paint is matched to your existing color — most iron runs black, but we match bronze, green, and custom colors too.
