Wrought Iron Fence Repair in Rowlett, TX
Lakefront and neighborhood fences, restored rather than replaced.
Lake Ray Hubbard is hard on iron
Rowlett sits right on Lake Ray Hubbard, and lakefront humidity is hard on iron. Rust spreads faster at welds and post bases than it does inland. We’re based a short drive away in Fate, so Rowlett jobs are easy to fit in quickly. We restore lakefront and neighborhood fences alike: rust cut out, new metal welded in, posts reset and everything painted by hand.
What we see most in Rowlett
Rust that moves fast near the water, and the usual North Texas wear everywhere else.
Rust at welds and joints
Moisture sits where metal meets metal. Welds and rail joints rust first, then the rust spreads along the run.
Rust at the base
Pickets and posts sitting in soil, mulch or sprinkler spray rust from the bottom up first.
Leaning posts
North Texas clay moves with the seasons and pushes posts out of line. We pull and reset them.
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.
Flaking paint
Once paint lifts, water gets underneath and the rust speeds up. We take it back to sound metal before refinishing.
Pool and lakefront fencing
Fences that keep kids and pets in the yard have to latch every time. We make sure they do.
See the difference
The same fence before and after — scraped back to sound metal, welded where needed, and finished by hand.
Why repair makes sense in Rowlett
Rust near the lake spreads, but it starts small. Catching it early means cutting out a few bad sections and refinishing, not replacing the fence. Even a fence that has been let go is usually sound underneath, and restoring it costs a fraction of new.
- Lakefront rust cut out and the run refinished by hand.
- Our welds are guaranteed.
- Every completed job includes one free touch-up within the first year.
- Fences, gates and railings handled in the same visit.
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 Rowlett — common questions
Does lake air really make iron rust faster?
Yes. Humidity near the water keeps metal damp for longer, so rust starts sooner and spreads faster, especially at welds, joints and post bases. Keeping the paint intact is what protects it.
Can you fix a fence that's already leaning?
Usually. Leaning is normally a post that has shifted. We pull and reset the post and straighten the run, then repair any rusted sections.
Do you work on gates too?
Yes. Every gate works properly before the crew leaves: rehung, realigned or rewelded, and latching as it should.
How quickly can you get to Rowlett?
We’re based in Fate, a short drive away, so Rowlett jobs are easy to schedule.
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.
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.
