Vartanian Ironworks: Trusted Fence Installation Serving San Fernando Valley, CA 91331

The Valley's dry climate actually helps slow rust, but irrigation overspray, pool chemicals, and morning dew can still cause moisture to sit on the metal. Over time, tiny scratches in the paint allow moisture to reach the steel, leading to oxidation and the telltale orange stains. If you see brown streaks running down your fence or gate, call Vartanian Ironworks—we’ll sand down the rust, apply a zinc primer, and repaint to stop it in its tracks.

Not necessarily. Most broken hardware—like seized hinges, stripped handles, or misaligned latch plates—can be repaired on-site by adjusting the gate, lubricating moving parts, or replacing individual components. However, if the gate itself has sagged or posts are leaning, we may need to reweld or reinforce the frame first. Give us a call in Sherman Oaks; we’ll diagnose the issue and give you an honest answer.

Yes—we custom-fabricate gates and panels to blend with your current ironwork. We use the same steel profiles and hand-finish them with a matching powder coat or wet paint that holds up to Valley sun. If your existing fence has years of patina, we can even add a subtle artificial aging to make the new piece match. We serve all of San Fernando Valley, from Woodland Hills to Studio City.
