Every weld is ground smooth and powder-coated before it goes outside, since a bare scratch on iron is exactly where Ottawa winters start a rust problem.
Custom wrought iron and welded steel typically run $90-$200 per linear foot, with decorative scrollwork toward the higher end since it adds shop time. A plain picket panel of the same length costs less than one with curved or forged detail.
Straight vertical pickets welded into a top and bottom rail, the most economical iron option.
Curved and forged detail worked into the panel design for a period or custom look.
Every weld is ground smooth and finished with a powder coat rated for exterior exposure.
Panels fabricated to match a curved staircase or an angled exterior stair run.
Every panel is fabricated to your exact run, not a standard stock width.
From plain picket iron to custom scrollwork, one shop handles the design.
Welds are ground and powder-coated, not left with a raw painted finish that chips.
We confirm picket style, scrollwork (if any) and exact rake or curve before fabrication starts.
Panels are welded, ground and prepped off-site to the exact dimensions measured on site.
Panels are powder-coated, then anchored and set on site with final adjustment for level.
We test every weld and joint under load and walk the finished railing with you before calling the job done.

"Wrought iron" today usually describes the traditional decorative style; most modern railings sold under that name are actually welded mild steel finished to look like it, which is what we fabricate.
Yes – custom fabrication and welding take more shop time than an aluminum system, so iron typically runs higher per linear foot.
Simple picket panels can be ready in one to two weeks; decorative scrollwork adds fabrication time.
A properly applied powder coat holds up for years outdoors, but any deep scratch to bare metal should be touched up promptly to prevent rust from starting.
