Looking for suggestions of a non-bank breaking firm people would recommend for having our fence cleaned (including all the rusting), and repainted.

I know there are some folks who do it themselves, but I unfortunately don’t think I will have time to attempt it myself.

I’d also like to have a few of the finials that fell off to be cleaned up and welded back on as well.

Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

  1. I am a painter who has restored many iron fences. I get rid of all the rust, fill, or re-build areas can be, Prime with a rust resistant undercoat and do a top coat of oil. I am neat and reasonable. And the weather is right. I can offer excellent references. You can contact me at deefinite@gmail.com I also know people who can do welds and that sort of repair work. I would be happy to take a look and see if I could help

  2. Custom Metal Products at 764 Madison Street in Bed Stuy repairs cast iron and wrought iron fences, plus they make window and door gates, and they are locksmiths. I haven’t actually used them yet and don’t know what their prices are but online their work looks beautiful. Anyone ever tried them?

  3. VinRoy’s crew (646 554 4513) do the scraping & painting for reasonable sums (& are very neat about it.) Iron work might need an iron monger – Ricardo – 718 499 1153
