Historic Ironwork
Restoration
Specialists
Capitol Hill's go-to crew for fence restoration that respects the district's character.
Serving Capitol Hill and the immediately surrounding blocks of Washington, D.C.
The specialist, not the generalist.
We restore historic iron fences to their original character.
We only do ironwork restoration
While general contractors juggle plumbing and roofing, we've spent every working day for four years refining one craft: bringing rusted iron fences back to museum-quality finish.
We live where we work
Our crew bikes past your fence on the way home. That's why we can offer 48-hour estimates and stand behind every brushstroke for years to come.
We know this neighborhood. We respect its history.
The most rewarding part isn't finishing the project — it's biking through the neighborhood months later and seeing our work still looking immaculate.
Fresh Fences has been restoring Capitol Hill's historic iron fences for 4+ years.
Every fence is different. We don't use templates. We study the original metalwork, source period-appropriate finishes, and pull permits before we touch a single bolt.

Iron fence restoration is our bread and butter — but we care for everything around them too. Most projects range from $400 to $2,800 depending on linear footage and condition.

Our multi-step process stops rust in its tracks. We scrape, sand, prime, and paint using heavy-duty oil-based paint engineered to withstand D.C. weather extremes.

Trusted on every block.
We've earned our reputation one fence at a time. Here's what Capitol Hill homeowners are saying.
-
Luke and his crew transformed our 1890s fence that we honestly thought was beyond saving. The attention to detail on the spear-tops and the rosettes was extraordinary. Two summers later, it still looks brand new.
-
We got three estimates. Fresh Fences came in at a fair price, knew exactly what the historic district required, and was the only crew who actually walked us through what they'd do step by step. Easy choice.
-
My fence was the eyesore of the block — peeling, rusted, you name it. After Fresh Fences finished, two neighbors stopped me to ask who did it. I now have one of the nicest fences on Lincoln Park.
