"Rick was very professional and timely. He came out on the morning he said he would and replaced and repaired the posts as discussed during his initial estimate visit. He was in contact with us through the entire process. I would certainly recommend him to all of my family and friends. Great guy to work with!"

"Kevin was pretty quick to get back to me when I first asked him to give me a quote.  He showed up soon after our first phone conversation and gave me a quote instantly on what it would cost for the project.  His quote was very reasonable, compared to two others I had received.  I awarded Kevin the job and he thought he could get to the job w/in 6 weeks, due to other jobs ahead of us.  We agreed to wait, as we weren't in a huge hurry.  6 weeks later, Kevin came out to start the job as promised.

Unfortunately the weather was brutally hot, so the job he figured would take him one day, took him two, due to the intense heat.  Very understandable and in the end, the new concrete stairs were poured correctly.  The only problem I had was that in our small parking lot, they had mixed concrete and spilled quite a bit on the blacktop.  To our surprise, they left the mess and never               cleaned it up. Plus they gave one of my neighbors, who I left the Condo Association's check with, a hard time concerning how much we were giving him.  On Angie's List, Kevin had a coupon that was good for 5% off, for work done by 10/15/2012.  We took the 5% off of the quote and gave him a check for the balance.  He was upset, as he claimed that the quote factored in the 5% discount already. 

No where on the quote did it say anything about a discount in the quote, so we feel that we gave him all that was due to him.  Although he argued with one of our unit owners about this, he ultimately took the check, despite still being upset.  I would recommend to Kevin that next time he does a quote, where he awards an Angie's List discount, I would make sure that the discounted portion of the bill is clearly identified, to eliminate any possible confusion.

Overall, we were happy w/ the job Kevin and his helper did.  Just not pleased with his poor clean-up and argument over the check we gave him. I would still use him again, considering the great job he did, for a reasonable price."

"Definitely would use their services and recommend anyone needing anything done to hire them. Very professional, punctual, and we were able to have everything installed while still being under budget. They cared about our wants and needs, and made this nerve recking experience a breeze. Honestly can't thank them enough! We love our home even more now!!"

FAQs for wrought iron fence installation projects in Elwood, IL

Galvanizing is the best way to keep rain from eating away at your wrought iron fence. The process coats each bar in a thin layer of zinc, sealing out moisture and blocking rust. Most panels come pre-galvanized, but you’ll still want to wash and repaint every few years to keep that shield intact. 

Skipping galvanization may save a few dollars up front, yet you’ll spend far more later repairing corrosion or replacing sections outright.

Expect to pay more for wrought iron than for wood at the outset, but iron wins the long game. A standard wood fence runs $1,700 to $3,900, yet you’ll sand, stain, and eventually replace it. Wrought iron may double that initial tab, but it can last 50 to 100 years with a quick paint job every few seasons. Factor in fewer repairs and less upkeep, and iron often edges out wood on lifetime cost.

Hiring a pro to paint wrought iron runs $8 to $10 per linear foot, a price that covers careful prep, rust removal, and high-grade paint for long-term protection. DIY-ers can trim that labor bill, but you’ll need quality brushes, rust-inhibiting primer, and time to apply multiple thin coats. Skimp on prep or materials, and the finish will peel sooner, forcing you back to square one.

A well-maintained wrought iron fence easily lasts 50 to 100 years. Plan to wash it annually and sand-and-repaint every two to three years to keep rust from gaining a foothold. If you spot flakes or pitting early, touch-up paint stops corrosion in its tracks. When in doubt, a local fence pro can walk you through a maintenance schedule tailored to your climate.

Homeowners choose wrought iron fencing because it delivers exceptional security and a timeless aesthetic. This fence offers robust protection that deters intruders while providing a classic look that elevates property curb appeal. 

Its construction from high-grade materials ensures lasting durability and reduces maintenance needs. The design also enhances home value and offers consistent strength and elegance.

Wrought iron fencing is available exclusively through certified local fence installation companies and reputable specialized suppliers. This source guarantees high-quality materials and professional installation that adhere to strict performance standards. 

Homeowners will find that these trusted providers deliver materials backed by quality control and expert support, ensuring an investment that meets both durability and aesthetic expectations.
