"Steve showed up first to give us a quote. We did ask for additional quotes from other businesses and decided to go with him, as his quote listed every detail about the work. The price of the project was very competitive with other estimates. Since we weren't sure what we really needed, Steve provided excellent guidance. He and his crew went the extra mile to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the final product. I would recommend Fancing Solutions to anyone because I am confident they will do a good job."

"Failed to show up on agreed upon work date due to overbooking. Bid vinyl for an aluminum replacement, then was unresponsive about bidding aluminum. When we decided to go elsewhere, six months later they sent us an invoice for an additional, arbitrary $3k for work not performed. We disputed the invoice and never heard back until we got another invoice another seven months later seeking double the original amount including monthly interest and an ‘overhead & profit’ fee."

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:
Pros
Long lifespan with proper maintenance
Very durable
Aesthetically pleasing
Functional as well as decorative
Cons
Requires regular maintenance and cleaning
Expensive compared to other fence materials
Limited privacy
A high-quality wrought iron fence should last a lifetime or even centuries. However, making your wrought iron last as long as possible will require regular maintenance as the material is susceptible to corrosion and rust. Maintenance involves cleaning the fence with soapy water every six months and applying a new coat of paint yearly. While you’re cleaning your wrought iron fence, scrub away any rust or corrosion to maintain its look and viability.
Installing a wrought iron railing costs about $2,600 on average, depending on the size and your location. Costs range from $700 to $4,600 for most projects. Typically, wrought iron railings cost about $50 to $120 per linear foot, not including labor. Additional cost factors include the material and component costs and any custom work. Different wrought iron railing finishes include:
Plain black: $50–$70 per linear foot
Galvanized wrought iron: $60–$90 per linear foot
Ornamental wrought iron: $60–$120 per linear foot
A wrought iron fence is worth it if the material suits your home’s needs and the cost fits within your budget. However, wrought iron is not the best choice if you’re looking for a fence that increases privacy. However, if you want a fence and a security gate that complements your brick or stone home with a classy, timeless, and elegant look, wrought iron fencing is a good option. As far as the longevity of wrought iron fencing compared to other materials, wrought iron wins almost every time.
Wrought iron fencing costs about $3,100, on average, ranging from $470 to $10,000 or more, depending on the type of fencing, the length, and any custom design work. You should also consider additional cost factors, such as metal thickness, labor costs in your location, permits, old fence removal, tree or bush removal, land grading, gates, and columns. Wrought iron fence materials cost around $1,925 to $3,500 per project, or $25 to $35 per linear foot.
