Timeless Elegance for Distinguished Properties
Nothing matches the stately presence of ornamental iron fencing. For over a century, iron fences have adorned the finest properties in the New York area, and their appeal has never faded. Our ornamental iron fences feature hand-finished details including decorative finials, scrollwork, and custom designs that transform your property's perimeter into an architectural feature. Available in classic black, bronze patina, and custom colors to complement any home style.
Custom Design & Fabrication
Every ornamental iron fence we install can be customized to your exact specifications. Choose from hundreds of finial styles — from traditional spear points and fleur-de-lis to ball caps and pineapple tops. Add decorative rings, scrolls, and basket twists between pickets for additional character. We can match existing architectural ironwork on your home or design something entirely unique. Our design team works with you to create the perfect fence that enhances your property's character.
Durability & Maintenance
Modern ornamental iron fencing is built to last generations. Our fences are hot-dip galvanized before powder coating, providing a multi-layer defense against rust and corrosion. This process ensures your iron fence maintains its beauty even in Staten Island's challenging coastal environment. While iron fencing does require periodic inspection for paint touch-ups at stress points, its overall lifespan of 50+ years makes it one of the best long-term investments in fencing.
Security Without Sacrificing Beauty
Ornamental iron fencing provides excellent security while maintaining an open, welcoming appearance. The vertical pickets are virtually impossible to climb, especially with pointed finial tops. Iron fences don't provide hiding spots for intruders like solid privacy fences can. For enhanced security, we can increase picket height, reduce spacing, and add reinforced mounting. Many Staten Island homeowners choose iron for front yards where both security and curb appeal are priorities.

How much does ornamental iron fencing cost in Staten Island?
Ornamental iron fence installation typically costs $40-$100 per linear foot depending on design complexity, height, and customization. Standard 4-foot decorative iron fencing averages $45-$65 per foot, while custom designs with elaborate scrollwork can exceed $80 per foot.
Does wrought iron fencing rust in Staten Island?
Modern ornamental iron fencing is galvanized and powder-coated to resist rust. With periodic inspection and touch-up of any chips or scratches, an iron fence will resist corrosion for decades. We recommend annual inspection to catch and address any coating damage early.
What is the difference between wrought iron and ornamental iron?
Traditional wrought iron is hand-forged from heated iron, while modern ornamental iron is manufactured from steel and finished to replicate the wrought iron look. Both provide excellent strength and beauty, but ornamental iron is more affordable and consistently manufactured with modern protective coatings.
How long does an iron fence last?
With proper maintenance, ornamental iron fencing lasts 50 years or more. Many historic iron fences in New York City are over 100 years old. The key to longevity is maintaining the protective coating and addressing any rust spots promptly.
