Rusted, broken, sagging, or knocked out of plumb by the wind? Our mobile welding trucks come to you, rebuild the metal in place, treat the rust, and repaint so your iron gate looks and swings like it should.

Wrought iron gate repair and mobile welding, done at your property
When a wrought iron gate rusts, cracks, sags, or stops latching, you do not need to live with it and you rarely need to replace it. We are a local, owner operated Riverside business offering wrought iron gate repair and mobile welding across the Inland Empire. Our welding trucks roll right up to your home or business, so the repair happens on site instead of at a shop. The same people who answer the phone are the ones who weld, grind, and refinish your gate.
Wrought iron is heavy, durable metal, which is exactly why most damaged gates are worth saving. We handle the full scope in one place: rust and corrosion, broken or cracked welds, snapped pickets and bent scrollwork, sagging hinges that will not let the gate latch, leaning posts that need realignment, and stripping, priming, and repainting so the finish holds up to the Inland Empire sun. We work on residential, ornamental, and commercial iron gates, plus the matching fence panels that run alongside them.
Every job starts with a free estimate and a clear, upfront price before any work begins. We are insured, background checked, and warranty backed, and we do not guess or throw parts at a problem. We find the real reason your gate is failing, fix it correctly, and tell you in plain language what we did. If you also have an automated entry, ask about our electric gate repair and gate opener repair and installation, since iron gates and their operators often need attention at the same time.
Common wrought iron gate problems we repair
If your iron gate is showing any of these, text a photo to (909) 264-7415 and we will arrive with the welding gear and parts most likely to put it right.
Rust, corrosion & flaking paint
Surface rust, peeling paint, and pitting that spread fast in Inland Empire heat and dust. Left alone, rust eats into the metal and weakens the gate.
Broken or cracked welds
Welds that have cracked or let go, sections that have separated, and joints that flex when you push on the gate. These need real welding, not glue or brackets.
Snapped pickets & bent scrollwork
Broken or missing pickets and bent or crushed ornamental scrollwork from impacts. We straighten what we can and fabricate matching pieces for the rest.
Sagging or dragging gate
A gate that has dropped on its hinges, scrapes the ground, or will not latch anymore. Usually worn hinges or a hinge bracket that has shifted.
Leaning or loose posts
Posts pulled out of plumb by Santa Ana winds or a failing footing, so the gate no longer hangs square. We re-plumb, reset, and reinforce them.
Worn hinges & seized latches
Hinges ground out from years of weight and a latch that sticks, binds, or no longer lines up. We replace, lube, and re-set the hardware so it works smoothly.
On-site welding & structural repair
Most wrought iron repairs can be done right where the gate hangs. Our mobile welding trucks carry everything to rebuild the metal, re-square the leaves, and get the gate swinging perfectly, without ever taking it off the property.
We rebuild cracked and broken welds and reconnect sections that have separated, laying down strong new welds that match the original construction.
The work is done in place, so the gate never leaves your property and your entry is not left open while it sits in a shop across town.
We reinforce weak frames, add bracing where the gate has flexed, and re-square leaves that have racked out of shape so they sit true again.
Snapped or missing pickets and damaged scrollwork are fabricated to match, then welded in so the repair blends into the existing pattern.
When a gate no longer lines up, we cut, re-weld, and realign the leaf and hardware so it swings cleanly and latches the way it should.
Every weld is ground smooth and dressed so it is ready to prime and paint, leaving a clean, finished joint rather than a rough patch.
Welding that comes to you
No hauling the gate, no leaving your entry open. We weld, cut, grind, and fabricate right at your home or business, and in most cases the gate is back in full service the same visit.
Sagging gate hinge & latch repair
A sagging iron gate that drags or will not latch is one of our most common calls. We fix the cause, not just the symptom, so the gate stays level instead of dropping again a month later.
Diagnose the real cause
A dropped gate is usually worn hinges or a hinge bracket that has shifted on a leaning post. We check both before deciding what the gate actually needs.
Heavy-duty hinges & bracing
We install heavy-duty hinges and add bracing or an anti-sag turnbuckle kit so the leaf is properly supported and stops pulling down over time.
Reset hinge & adjust latch
We reset the hinge position so the gate hangs square, then adjust the latch and strike so it lines up and closes cleanly every time.
Lube & hardware tune-up
We free seized latches, lubricate the hinges and moving hardware, and tune up the whole assembly so the gate swings smoothly and quietly.
Gate post realignment & reinforcement
A leaning post throws the whole gate out of alignment. In the Inland Empire, expansive soils and high winds work posts loose, so resetting them properly is often the key to a gate that finally closes right.
Re-plumb the post
We bring leaning posts back to plumb so the gate hangs square and the leaves meet the way they were designed to.
Reset in fresh concrete
When the footing has failed, we excavate the base and reset the post in fresh concrete so it holds firm again under load.
Gusset & support
We add gussets and bracing to support the post and stop it from shifting under the weight of the gate and the push of the wind.
Re-anchor hinge-side post
The hinge-side post carries the full weight of the gate, so we re-anchor it solidly so it stops pulling forward and dragging the leaf.
Footing failure fixes
Expansive Inland Empire soils and high winds are hard on footings. We address why the post moved, not just the lean you can see.
Re-square the gate
Once the posts are solid, we re-square the gate and reset the hardware so it swings clean and latches without forcing it.
Rust treatment, sandblasting & repainting
Refinishing is where a tired iron gate gets its life back. We take the metal back to a sound surface, lock the rust out, and lay down a durable finish built for Inland Empire weather.
Strip to bare metal
We wire-wheel, grind, or sandblast the gate back to clean bare metal so the new coating bonds to a sound surface, not over loose rust and old paint.
Convert & prime
We treat any remaining rust with a rust converter, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer so corrosion is stopped at the source before color goes on.
Topcoat & color match
We finish with an exterior enamel or powder-style topcoat, color matched and blended so the repaired area matches the rest of the gate.
Protect for IE weather
We use protective coatings chosen to stand up to the Inland Empire sun, heat, and dust so the finish lasts instead of fading and flaking again fast.
Why iron gates rust in the IE, and how to prevent it
Iron gates take a beating out here. Daily heat cycles, blowing dust, and dry Santa Ana winds all speed up corrosion, working into any chip in the finish and spreading rust beneath the paint. The good news is that catching it early keeps a small touch-up from turning into a major repair.
When it comes to repair versus replace, most rusted wrought iron can be stripped, welded, primed, and repainted rather than torn out. We only recommend replacement when the metal has corroded through past the point of safe repair, and we will show you exactly why. For most gates, refinishing costs far less than a new fabricated gate and keeps the original ornamental detail.
To keep your gate healthy, inspect it twice a year, touch up rust spots and chipped paint early before they spread, and re-lubricate the hinges and latch so the hardware does not seize. A little maintenance goes a long way, and if you would rather we handle it, our maintenance and tune-up service covers gates as well as doors.
Do not paint over active rust
Painting straight over rust just hides it while the corrosion keeps spreading underneath and the metal keeps weakening. Rust has to be removed and treated first. If a gate is rusting through at a hinge, post, or load-bearing weld, stop using it and call us before it fails under its own weight.

Iron gate customers across the Inland Empire
A few of the recommendations behind our 4.7 rating.
Our wrought iron driveway gate was rusted and sagging so bad it would not latch. They welded the broken section right in the driveway, reset the hinges, and repainted it to match. Looks brand new and closes perfectly now.
A windstorm pushed our gate post over and the gate would not close. They came out, reset the post in concrete, and re-squared the gate. Honest, straightforward, and a fair price with no upselling.
I thought I would have to replace the whole ornamental gate because of the rust. They stripped it, treated the rust, and repainted it instead, and matched the fence too. Saved us a fortune and the work is guaranteed.
