Restore Your Metal Gate and Fence in Houston
When your metal gate drags, sags, or your wrought iron fence is flaking with rust, it is more than an eyesore. It can affect security, property value, and daily convenience. Weldit provides professional wrought iron fence and gate repair throughout the Houston area so your property looks sharp and works the way it should.
We repair and restore existing ironwork for homes, businesses, and industrial properties, addressing rust, structural damage, and hardware problems. Whether you need a simple weld repair or significant restoration, our team brings shop-quality craftsmanship to your property or completes the work in our Houston-area facility, depending on what best fits your project.
Protect Your Investment with Expert Iron Repair
Houston heat, humidity, and everyday use are hard on metal. Over time, posts shift, hinges wear out, and rust starts to eat through once-solid steel. Weldit focuses on long-lasting wrought iron fence and gate repair so you are not just covering up problems; you are fixing them at the source.
Our approach starts with cutting out weak, rotted, or severely rusted sections and replacing them with new, heavy-duty steel that matches your existing fence profile. Once the structure is sound, we apply specialized primers and durable finishes to help seal the metal against moisture and extend the life of your fence or gate.
With professional repair, you can:
- Stop active rust and rot before it spreads
- Improve security with solid, fully closing gates
- Clean up curb appeal for guests, tenants, and customers
- Extend the life of your existing fence or gate instead of replacing it
Comprehensive Wrought Iron Fence and Gate Repair
Weldit covers the full range of wrought iron fence and gate repair needs in Houston. For rust and rot restoration, we do not simply sand and paint over damaged metal. We remove badly deteriorated sections, weld in new steel, and grind and finish the surfaces so they blend with your existing design. Then we use high-quality primers and powder coat-style finishes to help protect against Houston’s humidity.
Gate hardware and hinge repair is another core part of our service. If your gate is sagging, scraping the ground, or not latching correctly, we reinforce or replace industrial-grade hinges, adjust alignment, and repair latch systems. For gates with automatic openers, we restore and reinforce mounting points so the opener can work reliably on a solid, aligned gate.
Structural reinforcement helps older ironwork stay safe and functional. We reset leaning or loose fence posts in fresh concrete, weld cracked joints, and add reinforcement to weak points in older ornamental iron sections. The result is a fence and gate system that feels solid and dependable, not wobbly or patched together.
What to Expect From Our Repair Process
When you reach out to Weldit, we start by discussing your fence or gate issues and, when needed, visiting your property to assess the damage. We look for rusted sections, weak posts, worn hardware, and any safety concerns. From there, we recommend a repair plan that targets both visible problems and the underlying causes.
Depending on the scope of work, we complete the project on-site with our mobile welding equipment or remove sections for shop-based repair and finishing. Throughout the process, we focus on clean welds, proper alignment, and consistent finishes so your repaired sections blend in with the rest of your fence or gate. Many projects can be scheduled around your everyday routines or business hours to limit disruption.

How We Restore and Protect your Metal Fence and Wrought Iron Gate: Our 5-Step Process
On-Site Inspection and Assessment
We perform a comprehensive evaluation of your gate or fence. Our team identifies structural weaknesses, failing hinges, and the depth of corrosion to ensure we fully understand the repair scope and your security needs.
Custom Repair Strategy & Pricing
We provide a transparent proposal that outlines the specific welding repairs and restoration steps required. We plan the work to minimize downtime, ensuring your property remains secure throughout the project.
Precision Welding & Structural Repair
Using shop-quality mobile welding equipment, our certified team repairs sagging frames and replaces damaged iron pickets. Every weld is performed to industrial standards, ensuring the structural integrity of your gate is fully restored.
Surface Restoration & Protective Coating
To prevent future rust, we prioritize high-performance finishes. We offer Hot-Dip Galvanizing for maximum corrosion resistance and Professional Powder Coating for a durable, high-gloss finish that withstands the Houston heat and humidity much longer than standard paint.
Final Testing & Precision Alignment
Your gate isn’t finished until it functions perfectly. We confirm the alignment of all latches, test automated entry systems if applicable, and ensure the new protective coatings are flawless before a final hand-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Minor issues such as surface rust, squeaky hinges, or slight misalignment are typically good candidates for professional welding repair. However, if the structural frame is severely warped, the metal has deep "rust-through" holes, or the supporting posts have shifted significantly due to soil movement, a full replacement may be the safer and more cost-effective long-term investment.
Houston's average humidity of 74% creates a high-moisture environment that aggressively accelerates rust on untreated metal. Hot-dip galvanizing provides a chemical zinc barrier that prevents corrosion even if the surface is scratched, while powder coating offers a durable, high-performance finish that is far more resistant to the Texas heat and UV exposure than standard liquid paint.
Yes. Sagging is often a sign of failing hinges, metal fatigue, or structural stress at the weld points. Our mobile welding team can reinforce the frame, replace worn-out heavy-duty hinges, and readjust the alignment to ensure your gate swings effortlessly and latches securely again.
In the Houston climate, you should perform a visual inspection at least once a year, paying close attention to welds and joints where water often collects. To extend the life of your fence, we recommend cleaning it seasonally with mild soap and water to remove dirt that traps moisture, and addressing any paint chips or scratches immediately before they turn into deep corrosion.
Visible cracks, gaps where two metal pieces were previously joined, or unusual creaking and vibrating during operation are major "red flags". These issues indicate metal fatigue or poor-quality original welds and should be repaired by a certified professional welder immediately to prevent the structure from failing entirely.
