Brooklyn Metal Fence Maintenance and Painting 

They say fences make good neighbors, and they also define space and add an attractive outdoor decorative element. Unless they don’t. And they don’t add anything appealing when they are rusted, paint is peeling, and materials are compromised. Wrought iron makes an exceptional fence for having a very long life, especially when cared for across the decades. This one is particularly beautiful in its design as well.

We were only too happy to remove the flaking paint from both the shiny jet black fence and charming rustic brick red steps, the perfect color complement to the soft terra cotta brick building. Since iron is strong, this paint could be safely removed with a grinder, wiped clean and primed with rust converter. The metal finish coats on the ornamental fence, along with a strong, durable, exterior paint on the steps, brought the whole front space back to its elegant curb appeal along this street in Brooklyn.

Bay Ridge Exterior Metal Fence Painter

The Bay Ridge neighborhood, tucked into the southwest corner of Brooklyn, hugs the Upper Bay of the Hudson River. Known for great schools, views, architecture and parks, property owners and managers take great care of the buildings and environment. Besides being functional, an attractive fence enhances a property’s appeal much like a frame does for a print or painting. This metal fencing had weathered many a storm, and peeling paint and rust inevitably set in. Besides being an eyesore, any deterioration in metal’s protective coatings can compromise the strength and integrity of the material.

 The first task was scraping off rust and remnants of old coatings. Once clean, we applied a rust converter primer for metal protection and to assure a strong bond with paint. Two coats of paint with UV resistant quality were added both for appearance and durability. Special care was taken not to get any primer or paint on the sidewalks or the building, and we totally think this is like the proverbial icing on the cake for this blond brick building.
