Americana Iron Works & Fence delivers professional fence painting in DePaul Chicago that starts with thorough surface prep, uses industrial-grade coatings, and produces a finish built to last through Chicago winters, humid summers, and road salt. From classic ornamental iron on DePaul's residential streets to cedar privacy fencing behind Lincoln Avenue properties, we restore your fence and protect it for years with workmanship backed by 30 years of Chicago ironwork experience.
THE AMERICANA DIFFERENCE: FENCE PAINTING IN DEPAUL CHICAGO
Good Paint Starts Below the Surface
The finish you see on a well-done fence job is only as good as what happened underneath it. We remove rust, strip failing coatings, clean and profile every surface, and apply the correct primer before the topcoat goes on. That foundation is what separates a ten-year finish from one that fails in one season.
Accountable from the First Call to the Final Walkthrough
We give you a written itemized quote after inspecting the fence in person, show up when we said we would, complete the work as agreed, and walk the job with you before we close out. That is how every DePaul project runs, no exceptions.
Honest Work. Honest Price. No Exceptions
Licensed, bonded, and insured. Before any work starts, we inspect your fence in person and give you a clear written quote that covers exactly what we will do and what it will cost. What we quote is what you pay. What we promise is what you get.
FENCE PAINTING SERVICES WE OFFER IN DEPAUL CHICAGO
Every fence material requires a different approach, and we match our prep method and coating selection to exactly what your DePaul fence needs.
Metal fences in DePaul take hits from moisture, road salt, and temperature swings. We clean and prep the surface, address rust, then use metal-safe primers and durable topcoats for long-term corrosion resistance.
Wrought iron fence painting
Wrought iron needs detail work around scrolls, finials, and tight corners. We remove rust, sand where needed, then prime and topcoat for a uniform finish that protects the iron and looks sharp.
Wood fence painting and staining
Wood fences can fade fast near sprinklers, shade lines, and damp areas. We clean, scrape loose paint, sand rough grain, then paint or stain based on the look you want and the condition of the boards.
Chain link fence finishing
Chain link can rust at posts, ties, and bottom rails. We clean and coat with durable, metal-safe coatings so the fence blends better with the property and stays easier to maintain.
Custom Color Matching Your fence should complement your DePaul property, not clash with it. We match finishes to your trim, exterior palette, or HOA color requirements. Classic gloss black, earth tones, or a fully custom color, we will get it right.
Fence Surface Prep and Rust Treatment Good painting starts before the paint. We strip failing coatings, treat rust with rust-inhibiting compounds, and profile the surface so the new coat bonds properly and lasts significantly longer than a paint-over job.
How Our DePaul Fence Painting Service Works
1. On-Site Inspection and Written Quote
We inspect the fence, confirm the material, and note peeling paint, rust, and wear. You get a clear written quote before any work is scheduled.
2. Surface Prep and Rust Treatment
We power wash, scrape loose paint, and sand rough areas so the paint bonds. For metal and wrought iron, we remove loose rust and prep problem spots before primer.
3. Primer and Fence Paint Application
We apply the right primer for your fence material first. Then we apply exterior-grade fence paint in consistent coats for even coverage and long-lasting protection.
4. Walkthrough and Clean Finish
We walk the finished fence with you and check posts, rails, corners, and gates. We handle touch-ups and leave the work area clean.
WE KNOW HOW TO TREAT RUSTED IRON FENCES IN DEPAUL
Rust on a DePaul iron fence is not just a cosmetic problem. Left untreated, it spreads beneath any coating applied over it, accelerates structural deterioration, and turns what should be a simple refinishing job into a much more costly repair. Americana Iron Works has been treating rusted metal fences across Chicago's north side for over 30 years. We use power grinders, wire brushes, rust-inhibiting compounds, and spot-prime techniques to address rust at the source before any topcoat goes on. The result is a finish that bonds correctly, holds up through DePaul winters, and does not require a full repaint within two seasons.
Annual spot treatment is also worth considering for DePaul property owners who want to extend the life of an existing paint job. Catching small rust spots early and treating them before they spread is significantly less expensive than a full fence repaint and can add years to the current finish.

QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED, AND SPECIFICALLY TRAINED FOR IRON AND METAL FENCE WORK IN DEPAUL
Americana Iron Works is not a general painting company that adds fence painting to a service list. Ironwork, metal fencing, and exterior metal refinishing is what we have done for over 30 years. Our team is specifically trained in surface preparation for metal and wood fencing, rust treatment, primer selection by substrate, and the coating application techniques that produce a durable finish in Chicago's climate. Licensed, bonded, and insured on every project, we bring the same level of preparation and professionalism to a single DePaul front yard fence as we do to a full commercial perimeter. That specialization is reflected in how long our work lasts and why DePaul property owners come back to us rather than starting over with someone new.
HOW AMERICANA PROTECTS YOUR DEPAUL PROPERTY DURING FENCE PAINTING
Professional fence painting involves more than just the fence. Power grinding, wire brushing, and spray application can affect adjacent surfaces, landscaping, and neighboring properties if the job is not properly managed. At Americana, we protect surrounding areas before any prep or painting begins. That means covering nearby surfaces, containing dust and debris from rust removal and sanding, and managing overspray during coating application. We work cleanly, communicate with you about daily progress, and leave your DePaul property in the same condition we found it, other than the fence, which will look significantly better. Our crew is licensed, bonded, and insured, so you are covered if anything unexpected occurs during the project.
FENCE PAINTING FAQS FOR DEPAUL CHICAGO
Get quick answers to common questions about fence painting in DePaul, from prep and timelines to cost and materials.
How long does fence painting in DePaul Chicago typically last?
With professional prep and industrial-grade coatings, fence painting in DePaul typically lasts 5 to 10 years. Metal fences with full rust removal and rust-inhibiting primer hold up on the longer end. Wood fences with proper cleaning, sanding, and the right stain or paint system also perform well through Chicago's freeze-thaw seasons.
Can you paint a fence that already has rust on it in DePaul?
Yes, but the rust must be properly treated before any coating goes on. For iron fence painting in DePaul, we remove loose rust, treat the metal with rust-inhibiting compounds, profile the surface, and apply a rust-inhibiting primer before the finish coat. Painting directly over active rust causes early failure every time.
What types of fences do you paint in DePaul Chicago?
We service wrought iron, ornamental steel, aluminum, chain link, cedar, pine, and pressure-treated wood fencing throughout DePaul. Each material requires a different prep process and coating system. We match our approach to the fence rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
How much does fence painting cost in DePaul Chicago?
Cost depends on fence material, linear footage, height, and current condition. A lightly weathered DePaul fence needing a fresh topcoat costs less than one requiring full rust removal and repriming. We provide itemized written quotes after inspecting the fence so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
