Hinsdale has some of the oldest and best-kept ironwork in the county, and that changes the job. Most of what we do here is careful repair on original wrought iron — fence sections, porch and balcony rails, gates and their posts — where the goal is that the repair disappears. Replacing a run with modern stock is faster and cheaper, and on these houses it is usually the wrong call.
That means more time spent matching: picket profile, scroll work, spacing, the finish. It also means being honest when a section is too far gone to save, and when the sound approach is to fabricate a matching replacement rather than keep patching something that will fail again next winter.
Straight answer: ornamental repair in Hinsdale is not the cheap end of the work, and anyone quoting it sight-unseen is guessing. Photos get you a range; a look gets you a number.
Hinsdale and the next town west share the same problem at a different scale: iron fence and gate repair in Burr Ridge is mostly long perimeter runs and driveway gates on large lots, where replacing the whole line is the expensive answer.
