Rust-proof and revitalize your metal railings with a lasting finish.

Wrought-iron railings are beautiful but prone to rust and flaking. Without proper prep and coating, they deteriorate quickly in Boston’s seasonal extremes.

Ryan Painting removes rust and restores iron railings with metal primers and durable alkyd enamel coatings. We work across Beacon Hill, the South End, and Mission Hill to preserve architectural details.

  • Wire brush or grind rust

  • Clean and degrease surface

  • Apply rust-inhibiting metal primer

  • Brush or spray two coats of enamel

Typical Cost

 Most wrought-iron projects run $600–$3,500 depending on linear feet and prep needed.

Case Study

On a brownstone stoop in Back Bay, we stripped flaking paint and corrosion from handrails, then primed and repainted them black. The result looked brand-new and boosted the home’s entry.
