Solution Iron Works - Boston's Best Commercial Fencing

Boston’s coastal air, road salt, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate corrosion, especially on iron and steel railings. Visible signs are orange flakes, pitting, or loose welds. Solution Iron Works can repair or replace the affected sections with weather-resistant metals like powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel, matching your deck’s style. For minor rust, they can weld in new components and apply marine-grade paint.

Yes. They specialize in deck construction (pressure-treated, composite, or cedar) and custom metal fabrication. You get one team that coordinates the deck frame and railing with a matching gate—no subcontractors. They’ve done projects in neighborhoods like South Boston and Charlestown where space is tight, creating gates that swing, slide, or match the existing fence line.

It depends on the extent of rot and whether the ledger board or posts are compromised. Solution Iron Works will inspect the structure, including welds on any metal components. If the framing is sound, they can replace only the damaged deck boards and reinforce the gate with a welded steel frame. For severe rot, a full deck replacement is safer. Either way, they work with Boston building codes to make sure it passes inspection.
