Our team provides measuring, forging, rust repair, powder coating and hanging, delivering a gate with real iron character for homes and a lasting entry for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a 4 ft forged walk gate to a 60 lf run of 1970s gate and fence.
From the first rust inspection to the last hinge adjustment, our team handles the whole job. Serving Cedar Park alongside Round Rock, Georgetown and Leander, we build and restore each gate so the iron holds its detail and the finish holds against Texas weather.
Ask for a free estimate, and we will inspect the iron, price the repair or the new gate and tell you plainly which one is worth your money.
What you can hold us to
Shirin, Westlake Drive, West Lake Hills
A 1970s forged gate with rust at the collars and scrolls worth keeping
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Shirin's home on Westlake Drive in West Lake Hills had 60 lf of 1970s forged gate and fence with rust at the collars. We blasted the iron, repaired two broken scrolls by hand, primed it with zinc and recoated it, and the cast scrolls stayed. The job was an estimated $2,000 to $2,800 and took an estimated 1 to 3 days. The original ornament is still there, and the rust is not.
Wrought iron is chosen for its look and its life, because hand-forged iron lasts 50 to 100 years when it is kept painted. The city grew from 26,049 people in 2000 to 77,595 in 2020, so many Buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks homes now want an entry that looks like it belongs to the house. Ranch at Brushy Creek and Crystal Falls owners often pair a forged gate with stone columns. Rough Hollow and Lakeway Drive homes in Lakeway want iron that holds up to lake weather, and Lake Austin side homes in Steiner Ranch want a finish that survives the sun.
Hand-forged iron work is estimated at $88 to $128 per linear foot, and the ornament, the height, the arch and the finish move that number most.

| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Hand-forged iron gate or fence | Est. $88 to $128 per linear foot | Est. 3 to 6 days |
| Old iron blast and recoat | Est. $31 to $48 per linear foot | Est. 1 to 3 days |
| Walkway or courtyard entry gate | Est. $650 to $1,450 each | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Operator retrofit | Est. $1,900 to $3,700 | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
A typical restoration lands near the lower per-foot range and typically takes 1 to 3 days, while a new forged gate takes longer because the ornament is made by hand. These iron figures are estimates, and the ornament, the arch and the condition of old steel can change them; the written quote fixes the final price and the schedule once the rust inspection is done.
Forged iron is hand shaped and long lived, cast iron is poured and detailed, and tube steel is the lowest cost. The table compares them by estimated price and upkeep.
| Gate material | Est. price | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|
| Hand-forged iron | Est. $88 to $128 per linear foot | Scrape and repaint every 3 to 5 years if field painted |
| Cast iron ornament | Restored in place on an older gate | Brittle under shear impact, repaint every 4 to 6 years |
| Ornamental tube steel | Est. $52 to $83 per linear foot | Powder coat, touch up chips with zinc primer |
Cast iron cannot be easily field-welded without pre-heating, so we repair cast scrolls with care or replace a broken one with a forged match. Hot-dip galvanized steel and Cor-Ten are also options for lake lots and weathered looks.
Rust starts at the bottom and at the joints, so the mistakes are the small ones: wet soil, scratched paint and painting over rust. Iron care rules are simple, and a gate that is checked twice a year rarely needs a rebuild.
Steel is the standard base for new iron-look gates, and our steel gate and fence material comparison explains galvanizing and powder coat. For a fence to match, see our wrought iron fencing, and for a walk gate beside the drive see pedestrian entry gates.
We forge, repair and hang the iron ourselves, so the crew that inspects your rust is the crew that sets your hinges. Across 17 years and over 1,483 projects, our 18-month workmanship warranty has stood behind the welds, the hinge set and the gate travel on each iron gate. Gates in Rollingwood and West Lake Hills get the same crew and the same rust inspection. Renata's arched pair on Redbud Trail is steel, an estimated $5,600 to $7,600, drawn from the architect's elevation. Bianca's 180 lf fence on Camp Craft Road pairs with this kind of gate in black powder coat. Felicia's porch and stair in Old Town show the same hand finish, 32 lf of square bar in rubbed black for an estimated $2,500 to $3,700 over 6 to 10 hours. Paige's 42 in arched walk gate in Hills of Lakeway has a keyed latch and a closer, an estimated $800 to $1,300 over 4 to 8 hours.
We build and restore iron gates across a 40-mile radius, with gates in West Lake Hills, Rollingwood and Lakeway, and the other towns we cover are listed on the service area page. Old Town, Wolf Ranch and Airport Road homes in Georgetown mostly want a forged entry gate. Crystal Falls, Travisso and Mason Hills homes in Leander are newer, so most orders add iron to a builder fence. Forest Creek and Chisholm Trail Road homes in Round Rock are older, so the iron is inspected for rust first. Steiner Ranch lots on the Quinlan Park Road and University Club sides sit on slope, while homes in Flintrock Falls and Hills of Lakeway need association and Village approval before any iron is ordered. Brodie Lane side and Slaughter Creek side homes in Shady Hollow date from 1972 on, so older iron is common, and Lime Creek Road and Volente Road lake lots in Volente call for a galvanized gate. Ignacio's masonry columns at Ranch at Brushy Creek stayed when his warped cedar gate gave way to a steel leaf. Ravi's Hatley Drive pivot door came out of the same shop, an estimated $8,800 to $13,500. Tess's bronze balcony guard on Lakeway Drive, an estimated $1,900 to $2,900, shows the railing side of our iron work. Maren's 90 lf in Blackhawk in Pflugerville replaced a leaning run post to post in black.
A wrought iron gate usually pairs with matching fencing, a pool barrier, or custom driveway gates when the whole entry is changing.
Hand-forged iron is typically estimated at $88 to $128 per linear foot, and the written quote fixes the price after the rust inspection.
A blast-and-recoat is an estimated 1 to 3 days of work, and the written quote names the days.
Yes, we keep cast ornament when it is sound, and we repair or replace a broken piece with a forged match.
Hand-forged iron lasts 50 to 100 years when it is kept painted and the base stays dry.
Keep mulch 2 inches from the posts, redirect sprinklers, and touch up scratches with zinc-rich primer.
A forged gate can need a permit depending on the city, so the office for your lot is asked and its answer goes on your quote.
Ask for a free estimate, and we will inspect the iron, measure the opening and write a quote that names the gate, the ornament and the finish.
Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
