Preserve the design where practical
We repair ornamental railings, gates, fencing, balconies, and decorative metalwork across Nicholasville, Lexington, and Central Kentucky.
Railings, gates, fences, and decorative details
Repair scopes can include broken welds, damaged pickets, scrolls, finials, hinges, latches, posts, brackets, lower rails, missing pieces, and replacement sections for ornamental assemblies.
Match, coordinate, or simplify
Exact matching depends on the original profiles, cast or forged pieces, pattern, scale, and finish. When an exact duplicate is not practical, we explain whether a coordinated replacement or simplified repair is the better route.
Corrosion and finish planning
Removing failed metal and addressing water-trapping details matters before coating. Paint, powder coating, and finish touch-up are coordinated around the repair and the condition of the remaining assembly.

Common questions
Can you match old ornamental iron details?
Sometimes. Matching depends on the original profiles, scrolls, cast pieces, pattern, dimensions, and remaining material. We explain the closest practical repair or replacement route before work begins.
Can rusted ornamental railings be repaired?
Localized corrosion may be repairable. If rust has reduced posts, lower rails, anchors, or many connections, section or full replacement may be safer and more durable.
Do you repair ornamental gates and balconies?
Yes. ASB repairs ornamental-style gates, railings, fencing, balcony metalwork, hinges, latches, posts, scrolls, and welded decorative details.
