The ranges below come from our published DuPage County cost guide and are for planning only. Every job lands somewhere inside them according to access, the condition of the metal, and how much finishing you want.
Expect a minimum charge as well. It covers getting a truck and a welding rig to your address and setting up, which happens whether the weld takes ten minutes or two hours.
Yes. Glendale Heights is inside the normal service area. Mabutas is based in Villa Park and covers DuPage County, and this town sits between Carol Stream → and Lombard →, both of which are regular runs, so it is on the route rather than a special trip.
Most of it gets welded on site, and that is the whole point of a mobile rig: the truck carries its own power, gas, leads and common steel. Some work genuinely belongs on a bench — small parts that come off easily, anything that needs a jig, or a repair that has to be done in a controlled space. If your job is one of those, you will be told before the quote rather than after.
Usually yes, and it is normally the cheaper answer. A cracked joint, a broken picket, a hinge tearing out of a post, or a post rusted through at the base can each be cut out and spliced with new material. The limit is how far the corrosion has travelled: if most of the run has gone thin, repairing one section just moves the failure along. Send photos of the worst spot and of the rest of the run and you will get an honest read on which case you are in. More detail: wrought iron fence repair →
Send photos of the damage, a rough dimension, the metal if you know it, and a note on how the spot is reached — open ground, overhead, or tight against a wall. Those four things are the difference between a guess and a real number. Call (312) 324-4832 or use the form on this page.
