Iron Gate Repair & Welding in Dallas–Fort Worth

Wrought iron gates sag, crack at the welds, and rust from the bottom rail up. All of it is repairable, and repairing is almost always cheaper than replacing a custom gate you cannot buy off a shelf.

What your gate is doing, and what it usually means

Most gate faults announce themselves in a fairly specific way. Find yours below — it will tell you roughly what you are dealing with before anyone arrives.

What you’re seeingUsually means
Gate is sagging or dragging on the groundHinge wear or post movement — very common in North Texas clay
Cracked welds at the frame jointsMetal fatigue from years of cycling, usually re-weldable
Rust at the bottom railWater sitting in the hollow section — cut, replace and reseal
Gate post leaningFooting movement, needs resetting rather than patching
Bent or damaged after vehicle impactStraighten, re-weld and refinish
Decorative elements broken offFabricate and weld to match

How we diagnose it

  1. Assess the gate, the hinges and the posts as one system — the gate is rarely the root cause

  2. Reset or reinforce posts where footings have moved

  3. Cut out failed sections and re-weld

  4. Grind, prime and refinish so the repair is not visible

Iron Gate Repair & Welding questions

My iron gate has started dragging. Is the gate bent?

Usually the post has moved, not the gate. North Texas clay expands and contracts hard between wet spring and dry summer, and gate posts move with it. Straightening the gate without addressing the post means it will drag again next season.

Can you match the finish on an older gate?

In most cases yes. We grind, prime and refinish the repaired section so it blends rather than leaving a patch.
