Answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners across Grayson County, Fannin County, Bryan County, North Collin County, Cooke County, and the surrounding North Texas area.
1. What are the benefits of a wrought iron fence?
Wrought iron gives you a fence that's strong, elegant, and long-lasting. It doesn't warp, crack, or rot the way wood can, it holds up well to North Texas weather, and it adds a classic, upscale look to a property without blocking your view the way a privacy fence does.
2. Do you use steel posts for wrought iron fences too?
Yes. Just like our wood fences, we set every wrought iron fence on deep-set steel posts. North Texas clay soil shifts with moisture, and a shallow or under-built post foundation is one of the main reasons iron fences lean or loosen over time. Setting posts deep keeps the fence solid for the long haul.
3. What hardware do you use to assemble the fence?
We use stainless steel hardware throughout the build. Standard fasteners can rust and streak over time, especially with North Texas rain, which weakens the joints and leaves unsightly stains on the iron and surrounding surfaces. Stainless steel resists that corrosion and holds up far longer.
4. Will my wrought iron fence rust?
Quality wrought iron fencing, properly installed and finished, is built to resist rust for years. Using stainless steel hardware instead of standard fasteners is a big part of preventing the rust streaks and weak points that show up on lower-quality installs.
5. Do you offer a warranty on your wrought iron work?
Yes. Every wrought iron fence comes with a workmanship warranty. We stand behind the way we build, and if something isn't right because of our workmanship, we'll make it right.
6. Why don't your wrought iron fences need much repair over time?
It comes down to how they're built from the start. Deep-set steel posts and stainless steel hardware mean the fence isn't fighting against a weak foundation or corroding joints. We build it right the first time, which is why we rarely get called back for repairs.
7. Do you subcontract the labor on wrought iron installs?
No. Mike builds every fence himself, wrought iron included, and never subcontracts labor. That means the same hands and the same standards on every job.
8. How much does a wrought iron fence cost?
Cost depends on the length of fencing, number of gates, terrain, and any site prep needed. Our goal is to give you the best fence at the best price — solid materials and real craftsmanship without an inflated bill. Call 903-814-8118 for a straightforward quote for your property.
9. What areas do you serve for wrought iron fencing?
We serve Grayson County, Fannin County, Bryan County, North Collin County, Cooke County, and the surrounding cities in North Texas.
10. What makes Mike Downs Fencing different for wrought iron fences?
"It's your fence, but our name" applies just as much to iron as it does to wood. Deep-set steel posts, stainless steel hardware, no subcontracted labor, and a workmanship warranty behind every install. We've been building fences in North Texas for 25 years — and building it right the first time is why our fences rarely come back for repairs.
