Wrought iron in Mount Royal homes

The Town of Mount Royal is a mostly residential area of single-family homes with entrance staircases, balconies and wrought iron guardrails. Exposed to Montreal winters, these elements need regular upkeep.

We work on these structures to slow corrosion and restore a clean finish, keeping the original workmanship whenever possible.

Why iron rusts in Montreal

A climate that attacks metal in four ways

Wrought iron is strong, but it is not stainless. In Montreal, four factors speed up corrosion, and each calls for a specific response.

  • 01

    Freeze and thaw

    Water seeps under flaking paint, freezes, expands and lifts the finish. Every cycle widens the crack. The result: rust spreading under paint that still looks intact.

  • 02

    De-icing salt

    Salt thrown on steps, stoops and the base of fences forms a highly corrosive solution that attacks the points of contact with the ground and the concrete.

  • 03

    Anchor points

    Where a post enters concrete or masonry, moisture sits. That is where we most often find thinned sections and loose fixings.

  • 04

    Welds and joints

    Junctions concentrate stress. A fatigued weld or a loose baluster lets the structure move, and movement cracks the paint around it.

That is why our method always starts with a diagnosis of the real condition of the metal, not with a brush.
