Wrought iron fencing is part of the fabric of New Orleans. From the ornate balcony railings of the French Quarter to the stately property lines of Uptown estates, iron has defined this city for over 200 years. Big Easy Contractors designs, fabricates, and installs custom wrought iron fences for homes, businesses, and historic properties across the Greater New Orleans area. Whether you need a decorative garden fence, a secure commercial perimeter, or a faithful restoration of century-old ironwork, our team delivers craftsmanship built for Louisiana’s climate.
Call (504) 475-2004 for a free consultation on your wrought iron fence project.
A wrought iron fence adds security, curb appeal, and property value to any home. In New Orleans, it also connects your property to the architectural tradition that makes this city unlike anywhere else in the country.
Our residential iron fences range from simple picket-style designs to elaborate scrollwork patterns inspired by historic New Orleans motifs. We build fencing for front yards, side boundaries, and garden enclosures that complement your home’s architecture while keeping the neighborhood character intact.
Louisiana law requires pool barriers that meet specific height and spacing requirements. Our wrought iron pool fences satisfy code requirements while looking far better than standard aluminum or chain-link alternatives. Self-closing, self-latching gates come standard on every pool enclosure we install.
If your home sits in a historic district, any fence installation or replacement must meet HDLC (Historic District Landmarks Commission) guidelines. We work with homeowners to design iron fencing that satisfies commission review standards, including appropriate height, style, and material specifications. Our team handles the approval process regularly and can guide you through what the commission expects before you submit plans.
Businesses throughout New Orleans rely on wrought iron for security and appearance. A well-built iron fence communicates permanence and quality to customers while providing real protection for your property.
Iron fencing and gates protect storefront entrances, display windows, and side access points without blocking visibility. We design commercial fencing that secures your business after hours while maintaining the welcoming look your customers expect during the day.
From courtyard enclosures at boutique hotels to patio perimeters at restaurants on Magazine Street, wrought iron defines outdoor hospitality spaces across New Orleans. We build fencing and gates sized for high-traffic commercial use with heavier gauge materials and reinforced posts that handle daily wear.
Parking lots, loading zones, and full-property perimeters need fencing that deters unauthorized access without making your business look like a fortress. Our commercial perimeter fencing uses taller panels, anti-climb designs, and automated gate systems for vehicle and pedestrian entry points.
Not every project fits a standard catalog. Big Easy Contractors operates a local fabrication shop where we build custom iron pieces from scratch and restore damaged or deteriorating historic ironwork.
Every custom fence project starts with a site visit and design consultation. We discuss your goals, take measurements, and present design options with drawings before fabrication begins. You approve the final design, finish color, and hardware selections before we cut a single piece of steel. Turnaround on custom fabrication typically runs 3 to 5 weeks depending on complexity.
New Orleans has some of the most significant decorative ironwork in the United States, and much of it needs skilled restoration. We repair rusted sections, replicate missing components to match original patterns, and refinish entire fence runs to bring them back to their original condition. If your property has iron fencing from the 1800s or early 1900s, we can assess its condition and recommend repair or selective replacement while preserving the historic character.
We fabricate single and double swing gates, sliding gates, and arched entry gates for residential driveways and commercial entrances. Gate automation is available with keypad, remote, or intercom access systems.
All of our wrought iron fencing is built from heavy-gauge steel that holds up to New Orleans humidity, salt air, and storm conditions. Finish options include:
We also offer rust-prevention maintenance packages to extend the life of your fence in Louisiana’s demanding climate.
Several neighborhoods in New Orleans fall under historic preservation oversight, including the French Quarter (Vieux Carre Commission), Garden District, Marigny, Bywater, and parts of Uptown. Fence projects in these areas require design approval before installation can begin. Big Easy Contractors has completed dozens of projects in regulated historic districts. We know what each commission looks for in terms of height restrictions, style appropriateness, setback requirements, and material specifications. We prepare submission documents and can attend hearings on your behalf if needed.
The cost of wrought iron fencing depends on several factors: linear footage, fence height, design complexity, finish type, and whether the project involves new installation or restoration of existing ironwork. Residential projects typically start lower per linear foot for simple designs, while ornate custom work and commercial installations with automated gates fall at the higher end.
We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site measurement and design discussion. There is no charge for the initial consultation.
Big Easy Contractors has built and restored wrought iron fences across New Orleans for residential, commercial, and historic properties. Our team handles the full process from design through installation, including permit coordination and historic commission approvals. We fabricate locally, use heavy-gauge materials rated for the Gulf Coast environment, and stand behind every installation.

Big Easy Contractors has done a great job on my home. They’re prompt, reliable, and provide quality work at a reasonable price! If you need siding services in New Orleans, I highly recommend them.
I seriously recommend Big Easy Contractors if you’re in need of roof repairs and installation. Our family had a first-rate service from this locally-owned business, which was there to assist us from the beginning to the end with our shingle roofing design.
We needed a new roof, so I got quotations from a few different contractors. An assessment by Big Easy Contractors was detailed. They were really well-informed and took the time to thoroughly explain everything. We went with them because of their professionalism.
Big Easy Contractors has an outstanding team and we definitely recommend them to anybody looking for a fence contractor. The installation was completed quickly, and the team did a fantastic job. All of the neighbors are happy with how our new wood fence looks.
Big Easy Contractors removed my concrete walkway and patio efficiently and affordably. As planned and estimated, all of our conversations about concrete removal went smoothly.
