Wrought Iron Fence Repair in Plano, TX
Restore the fence you have, not replace it.
Plano's iron fences are reaching the age where they need work
Much of Plano was built in the 1980s and ’90s, and a lot of the iron and steel fencing around those homes, pools and greenbelts is now reaching the age where rust sets in at the base and gates start to sag. Most of it doesn’t need replacing. We cut out the rusted sections, weld in new metal, reset leaning posts and paint the fence by hand, so it matches what your HOA expects for a fraction of the cost of new.
What we see most in Plano
Fences that are thirty-plus years old, under HOA rules, around pools and greenbelts.
Rust at the base
Pickets and posts sitting in soil, mulch or sprinkler spray rust from the bottom up first.
Sagging gates
Gates that drag, won't latch or need a shove to close. Usually a hinge, a weld or a post that has moved.
Leaning posts
North Texas clay moves with the seasons and pushes posts out of line. We pull and reset them.
Pool fencing
A pool gate that doesn't latch is a safety problem. We make sure every gate closes and catches.
Failing factory coatings
Thin factory paint chips at welds and joints, and rust spreads underneath. It all comes back to sound metal before we paint.
HOA expectations
We restore the fence you already have, so it keeps the same design and color your HOA approved.

The same fence before and after — scraped back to sound metal, welded where needed, and finished by hand.
Why repair makes sense in Plano
Most Plano fences were built from good material. What fails is the coating and the bottom few inches. Cutting out the bad metal and refinishing the run costs a fraction of a new fence, and you keep a design that already matches your neighbors and your HOA’s rules.

How we repair a wrought iron fence
Prep
The crew works the whole run first, scraping away every bit of flaking and failing paint back to sound metal. On older ironwork this is most of the job, and it is done by hand where the detail is fine.
Metal work
Where a section has rusted through or broken, we cut out the bad metal and weld in new to match. Old welds that have separated get rewelded.
Gates
Every gate works properly when we leave. Realigned, rehung, rewelded, latch rebuilt — whatever it takes.
Paint
Everything is painted by hand with oil-based Rust-Oleum containing a rust inhibitor. Brushing reaches into scrollwork and weld seams that a sprayer skips.
Walkthrough
Before the crew leaves, they walk the fence with you. If something is not right, it gets put right while they are still on site.

Iron fence repair in Plano — common questions
Does my HOA need to approve a repair?
Usually not for a like-for-like repair that keeps the same design and color, but HOA rules vary. If you’re unsure, check with yours first. We’re happy to give you the details of the work for any approval.
Can you match my existing fence?
Yes. We weld new metal into the existing run and paint it to match, so the repair blends with the rest of the fence.
How long does a typical Plano job take?
Most jobs take one to three days.
Can you fix a pool gate that won't latch?
Yes. Every gate works properly before the crew leaves: rehung, realigned or rewelded, and latching as it should.
My fence is leaning. Does it need replacing?
Usually not. Leaning is normally a post that has shifted in the clay. We pull and reset the post and straighten the run.
Do you paint the fence too?
Yes. We scrape back to sound metal and paint by hand with oil-based Rust-Oleum with a rust inhibitor. Never sprayed.
How much does it cost?
A fraction of replacement. Full fence restoration averages about $8 to $12 per linear foot, depending on how much metal has to be cut out, how many posts are involved and the length of the run. Gate work and spot repairs are quoted separately. Estimates are free.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our welds are guaranteed, and every completed job includes one free touch-up within the first year.
