Manhattan Wrought Iron Gate Painting

A fence encircling a yard or outdoor space is akin to a frame around a picture. It finishes the look and makes everything neat and tidy and collected. Historic homes often have wrought iron fences which add character and style to the exterior. Like many outside finishes, sun, heat, cold, rain, wind, snow, ice, dirt particles and time take a toll on the paint. Once it begins to break down, the metal below can be exposed, rust and deteriorate in looks and strength.

We love restoring these timeless borders. This one in West Village had not been painted in 10 years, so we began by protecting the ground and concrete under it and gently removing the compromised coatings. Once the metal is exposed, we apply a rust converter and metal primer. When that is dry, and we are certain those coats completely encase and protect the wrought iron, we add the finish coats – plural, more than one – for the aesthetic beauty and additional preservation.

Bay Ridge Exterior Metal Fence Painter

The Bay Ridge neighborhood, tucked into the southwest corner of Brooklyn, hugs the Upper Bay of the Hudson River. Known for great schools, views, architecture and parks, property owners and managers take great care of the buildings and environment. Besides being functional, an attractive fence enhances a property’s appeal much like a frame does for a print or painting. This metal fencing had weathered many a storm, and peeling paint and rust inevitably set in. Besides being an eyesore, any deterioration in metal’s protective coatings can compromise the strength and integrity of the material.

 The first task was scraping off rust and remnants of old coatings. Once clean, we applied a rust converter primer for metal protection and to assure a strong bond with paint. Two coats of paint with UV resistant quality were added both for appearance and durability. Special care was taken not to get any primer or paint on the sidewalks or the building, and we totally think this is like the proverbial icing on the cake for this blond brick building.
