Iron Gate Repair & Restoration in New Orleans, LA
Repair and restoration for iron gates that sag, rust or no longer work as they should.
Old ironwork is part of what makes New Orleans look like New Orleans, and much of it has been standing through decades of wet summers. Rust starts when paint wears through and moisture reaches the metal, and humid air with a salt influence from the lake and the Gulf makes that happen faster here. We assess a rusting gate on site, tell you what can be restored and what should be rebuilt, and explain the plan before any work begins. Creole cottages and historic shotgun homes often have original gates worth saving, and careful restoration keeps their character. Settling ground is the other common culprit. When a post leans, a gate sags, drags or will not latch, and fixing only the gate leaves the real problem in place. We look at the post, the hinges and the footing together. If your gate also has an opener, we check how the operator is carrying the load. Homes in Uptown, Lakeview and the French Quarter all get the same careful review. Call us to book a free estimate, and we will give you a fair, transparent quote with an installation schedule.

Compare your options
Repair, restore or replace: how we help you decide
Not every gate needs the same answer. We look at the gate first, then talk through the honest options.
Repair fits a gate with a specific problem, like a worn hinge, a loose latch or a post that has moved. The rest of the gate is sound.
Restoration fits a gate with good bones and a worn finish. It focuses on rust, paint and protecting the iron going forward.
Sometimes the gate has worn past the point where repair makes sense. If that is the case, we say so, and we can design a custom gate.
A gate that binds can look like an opener problem. We check both so you pay to fix the real cause.
Local conditions in New Orleans
How New Orleans Weather and Soil Shape Your Iron Gate Repair & Restoration
These are the conditions around New Orleans that affect iron gate repair & restoration, and how we build for them.
Flooding
Heavy rain and low ground can leave gate footings and opener electronics in standing water.
How we build for it: Wind loads swing gates hard, and flooding can leave water around hinges and posts. After a storm, we can assess what was strained.
High humidity and salt air that rust ironwork
Humid air with a salt influence from the Gulf and the lake speeds up rust on iron wherever the paint is thin or chipped.
How we build for it: Iron rusts when the finish wears through and moisture reaches the metal. Catching it early keeps a small spot from becoming a bigger repair.
Settling soils
Soft, settling ground can lean posts and make a gate sag or drag over time.
How we build for it: Clay swells and shrinks with the weather, which can tilt posts and make a gate sag or bind. We check post alignment, not just the gate.
