Setaro Metal Works: Experienced Commercial Fencing Serving Portland, ME 4101

Yes. Portland's salt air and freeze-thaw cycles can cause rust, rot, and cracking. At Setaro Metal Works, we apply marine-grade paint, galvanized coatings, and sealants designed for high-humidity and coastal environments. We also recommend seasonal inspections and touch-ups for metal and wood fences to prevent corrosion and water damage. Our team can treat existing fences or build new ones with weather-resistant materials from the start.

Absolutely. Frost heave is common in Portland, especially in areas with clay soil like the West End or near Back Cove. We assess the post foundations, reset or replace shifted posts with deeper concrete footings, and tension or patch the chain link. For metal gates that sag after freeze-thaw, we adjust the hinges, replace rusted hardware, and reinforce frames. We also offer mobile welding on-site for quick repairs.

We custom fabricate railings, gates, staircases, awnings, and decorative panels for both indoor and outdoor use. For example, we've built wrought-iron balcony railings for condos in the Old Port and custom steel gates for historic homes on Munjoy Hill. We also repair structural components like beams, brackets, and automotive parts. Our mobile welding truck can handle on-site fabrication and repairs anywhere in Greater Portland.
