Rust is the single most common problem for iron and steel gates in the Oakville area, and Lake Ontario humidity plus winter road salt make it worse than in most of the province. Caught early it is a refinish; left alone it eats pickets, welds, and hinge barrels until the gate is structurally compromised.
Light surface rust can be wire-brushed and touched up to slow it down. Once rust has pitted the metal, cracked a weld, or hollowed a section, it needs treating back to sound steel, reinforcing, and refinishing, otherwise it keeps spreading under the paint.
Our technician confirms the cause on-site, quotes the repair upfront, and fixes it — then tests the gate (and, on automated gates, its safety reversing) before leaving. Serving Oakville and the surrounding Halton, Hamilton and Mississauga area.
We diagnose the real cause and quote before we start. No surprises.
