Our Fence Painting Services in Chicago
Americana Iron Works & Fence offers full-service fence painting throughout Chicago. No matter the style or material, our tailored process transforms your fence’s appearance and function.
Wrought Iron Fence Painting
Wrought iron fencing is a centerpiece of many Chicago homes and commercial properties. Over time, however, exposure to ice, rain, and road salt can cause corrosion. We begin every wrought iron fence painting job by removing all flaking rust, sanding down the metal, and repairing any structural blemishes. Then, we apply industrial-quality rust-inhibitive primers and enamel paint formulated for exterior metal to keep your iron fences pristine and strong.
Wood Fence Painting and Staining
Wood fences add warmth to a property but are particularly vulnerable to moisture, pests, and sun damage. We offer both wood fence painting and staining, depending on your preferred look and protection level. If your wood fence is aged or weathered, our team can assess its condition and recommend the right refinishing solution to bring it back to life.
Chain Link Fence Finishing
Though mostly functional, chain-link fences can benefit from weatherproof coatings that reduce rust and blend better with landscaping. We clean and coat chain-link fences using durable, color-matching vinyl and metal-safe coatings to boost lifespan and visual appeal.
Custom Color Matching and Paint Selection
Fence painting isn’t one-size-fits-all. We offer color-matching services to ensure your fence pairs seamlessly with your home or commercial property's aesthetic. Our team helps you choose finishes that match your goals, whether that means a gloss black enamel for elegance or a muted tone for minimalism.

Fence Painting FAQs in Chicago
Quick answers on prep, timelines, materials, and how fence painting performs in Chicago weather.
How long does fence painting in Chicago typically last?
When done professionally, painted fences in Chicago can last 5 10 years depending on material, weather exposure, and regular maintenance. We use high-grade finishes designed for Chicago conditions to maximize that lifespan.
Can you paint over rusted metal fences?
Yes, but only after the proper prep. We remove rust, treat the area with rust converter or primer, then repaint using a rust-resistant coating. Ignoring rust risks peeling paint and structural issues.
What types of fences can you paint?
We specialize in painting wrought iron, steel, wood, and chain-link fences. Each material requires a specific prep and finish approach, which our skilled team is fully trained in.
Do I need to be home during the project?
Not always. As long as we have access to the fence line and any gates, many jobs can be completed while you are away. We confirm access points and boundaries before the work begins.
