Top 5 Things to Know Before Hiring a Wrought Iron Gate Contractor

When you are looking to hire a wrought iron gate contractor, there are many factors to consider. From services rendered and quality of workmanship to material selection and pricing options, it’s important to compare contractors before making a final decision. Here are the top 5 things you should know before hiring a wrought iron gate contractor.

Research contractors and get quotes.

Before deciding on a gate contractor, spend time doing the research. Read reviews, look up ratings, and ask family and friends for references. Compare the options for craftsmanship, turnaround time, and pricing options to find the right fit for your custom gates. Request examples of the gates they built. 
Also, make sure you are specific when discussing the job so that all contractors you’re considering have similar information. Prepare detailed instructions and measurements so that each prospective gate contractor can give you an accurate cost estimate before work begins. Finally, ask for proof of liability insurance to protect yourself in case of injury or damage on the job site. Checking references, getting multiple quotes, and verifying certification are essential to finding a reliable wrought iron contractor every homeowner can trust.

Verify certifications, qualifications, and licensing.

​Hiring an experienced and qualified contractor is essential - when it comes to wrought iron gates or any other type of metal gates. Reassure that the contractor you choose has a valid license, certification, and qualifications to do the job correctly and safely. Get proof of those credentials - the right person for the job takes care of these things. 
The contractor you hire has to have experience installing wrought iron gates specifically. Ask for completed projects and look at photos of previous work they’ve done. Verifying their expertise can help ease your mind when making this investment. Additionally, ask if their insurance covers any damage or accidents that may occur during the project. Accidents happen, but you want to be confident that the contractor has taken all necessary precautions for your safety and the safety of their employees. With the correct certifications, qualifications, experience, and insurance, you can trust that your wrought iron gate will get installed correctly and with care.

Consider gate design options and customization.

​Before you decide on a wrought iron gate, consider the design options and customization available. With many styles to choose from, you can create an aesthetic that suits the property. Ask your potential contractor about their experience with custom gate designs and talk to them about what you’d like to achieve. Make sure they have the skills necessary to execute your design ideas. 
Additionally, discuss the weathering and maintenance that may be necessary with metal gates. Wrought iron rusts and corrodes, so it needs proper care to keep its best appearance. Ask your contractor about special surface coatings or treatments that can help protect the iron from moisture and other elements. Determine what kinds of services your contractor can provide after installation.

Get references from past clients.

Ask for references from past clients. It will help grasp a better idea of their quality of work, reliability, customer service, and more. A contractor’s experience with wrought iron gates should give you confidence in their credentials and results. 
Read reviews about the contractor online and talk to people who have worked with them. Pay attention to any warning signs or negative comments mentioned in these reviews, as this can help you distinguish between a reliable contractor and the one to avoid. Still, remember about the human factor, money is involved here, and often people unjustifiably leave negative comments; paying attention to more reviews for the right decision is recommended. If the contractor you hire does only gate installation, ask the manufacturer of your wrought iron gate for references, mentioning the volume of the iron gates they supply to your gate contractor. Reputable manufacturers typically only work with qualified gate installers, so they know who is most capable of doing quality, beautiful work.​

​Ask about warranty policies and details of workmanship standards.

An experienced wrought iron gate contractor should be able to explain any warranty policies they offer and details of their craftsmanship standards. You want a clear idea of the type and length of warranties on the custom gate services, material selection, and installation. Ask about any additional fees for site visits or in-person consultations ahead. 
Ask potential contractors for up-to-date contact information of their past clients, and plan to reach out to determine satisfaction levels. Interviewing previous customers is the best way to obtain an unbiased opinion. Do not hesitate to ask contractor questions such as the volume of work they received in the past few years, locations they worked at, etc. Are there any comments about their professional performance and problems that have arisen previously? What was the overall quality of their work?
