Recs for Iron Doors in Landmarked Brownstone?

I used Vinnie’s Iron Works on Bergen. We were quoted three options for a gate for under our stoop: $2500 for a new gate with a historic design but minimal details, $2500 for a refurbished vintage gate with the detail we wanted, and $3400 for a new gate with the detail we wanted. We chose the vintage gate.

Hey ‘Stoners, Does anyone have a good and reasonably price rec for a company to install a new iron gate/door in a landmarked brownstone? I’m replacing the gate that is under the stoop leading inside of the garden level floor. Any general prices on how much these doors cost? Thanks a lot

It is generally best as far as Landmarks is concerned to repair/restore the existing gate. I have never heard of them approving a door.

I am also looking for someone to repair/replace mine. Years ago I was broken into. The culprits managed to warp the heavy metal and eventually lifted the gate because there were bolts were not in place. I will give them marks for determination! I am not in a landmarked building.

thank you. i’ll check out the rec from metalwork. resident2: the metal gate was removed prior to landmarking. the wooden replacement door that was present at the time of landmarking is shot and i know that i can’t replace it w/another wooden one.

Have you looked at the place behind Lowe’s on 9th St? I think I’ve seen gates there. Even if it needs a lot of work it might be cheapest way to go.

I had mine replaced as well, was not landmark or ornate – mine was plain (straight bar) no real details, the cost was $1900\. If yours is ornate and has design features that must be replicated due to **landmark** then cost will be more, plus keep in mind you may also need to get drawings done prior to fabrication. I used **ARC Steelworks** (Ramiro). They do beautiful **ornamental steelwork**, will probably use them again to fix parts of my front **brownstone fence**. Good Luck, Allan S.
