Company Background

J&A Ornamental Iron Works serves Melrose Park, IL, and the surrounding area with more than 30 years of experience in custom metal fabrication. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured company specializing in custom staircases, balconies, fencing, window guards, and structural services for both residential and commercial clients. Our work includes installation, painting or staining, repair, and weatherproofing for fences and gates—both manual and automatic. We also offer wood, vinyl, and chain link fencing, as well as custom steel railings in various colors and designs. Every project is custom-made to your specifications and built to comply with local building codes. Located near the intersection of North Avenue and 25th Avenue, we are just a short drive from the Melrose Park Village Hall and the Triton College campus. For residents in Melrose Park, we specifically address the common issue of wood fence cracking due to freeze-thaw cycles by using proper post-setting techniques and selecting materials that handle the local climate. We also prevent fence staining failure by applying high-quality, weather-resistant stains and sealants designed for the Midwest seasonal shifts.

Common Questions

How does J&A Ornamental Iron Works prevent wood fence cracking from Melrose Park's freeze-thaw cycles?

In Melrose Park, the freeze-thaw cycle can cause wood fences to crack and split. We address this by using pressure-treated lumber and installing posts with a gravel base for proper drainage, which reduces moisture buildup. We also allow for slight expansion gaps in the panels. For staining, we use flexible, weather-resistant stains that move with the wood, preventing the cracking and peeling that often happens after a harsh winter.

What types of metal fabrication does J&A Ornamental Iron Works provide for commercial clients?

We fabricate custom steel staircases, balconies, window guards, and railings for commercial properties. All work is built to your specifications and meets local building codes in Melrose Park. We also handle automatic gate installation and repair for parking lots, loading docks, and entry points, ensuring durability and reliable operation for high-traffic areas.

Can you repair an automatic gate that stops working in the middle of operation?

Yes, we specialize in automatic gate repair for both residential and commercial systems. Common issues include motor failure, sensor misalignment, or track obstructions. Our team will diagnose the problem on-site, and we can often fix it without replacing the entire gate. We serve all of Melrose Park, including areas near the Melrose Park Metra station.
