Our Wrought Iron Restoration and Painting Services
Bring lasting beauty and durability to your railings, balconies, and fences with professional methods adapted to Montréal’s climate.
Our Specialty
At Fer Forgé Héritage, we’ve perfected the art of restoring Montréal’s signature wrought iron structures.
Quarter-Turn Stairs
These staircases require a steady hand and millimeter precision. We paint each metal surface with care — without ever touching the steps — for a flawless, even finish.
Spiral Stairs
Their shape demands perfect balance and technique. Our painters work confidently at height to reach every tricky angle — even the ones you can’t see — without compromising quality.
Balconies and Fences
With intricate scrollwork and ornate details, these projects call for meticulous attention. Using specialized tools, we remove rust from every corner before applying a protective coating that ensures a clean, durable finish
Specialized Painting Techniques and Metal Surfaces
Every project goes through a complete multi-step process designed to stop corrosion, extend the life of your metal, and restore the original shine of your wrought iron. Our methods have been refined over dozens of residential projects across the Greater Montréal area.
Rust Removal
The first step is to eliminate all traces of rust using a professional-grade grinder. This step is crucial — rust spreads exponentially, and if left untreated, it can create irreparable damage to your stairs, railings, or fences. We strip down to the healthy metal, preparing it to receive the anti-rust primer.
Application of Anti-Rust Primer
Once the metal is fully prepared, we apply an oil-based rust inhibitor designed to seal exposed surfaces and block corrosion. This layer creates a protective barrier between the metal and moisture while improving adhesion for the final coat of paint — ensuring a durable finish, even through harsh Québec winters.
Application of Oil Paint
We use a high-quality oil paint that resists humidity and freezing temperatures. Applied by hand, it follows the curves and details of the wrought iron with precision. Available in matte or glossy finishes, it provides the perfect balance between aesthetics and durability — offering long-lasting protection against weather and rust.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our wrought iron painting and restoration services.
Yes, even if the paint comes from another painting shop, we simply have to see the paint code and we can take the color that matches it the most.
In general, we recommend light maintenance every 5 to 7 years for outdoor structures, depending on exposure (snow, salt, humidity). A quick visual inspection can help detect early signs of corrosion and prevent it from spreading.
It’s simple — just fill out the form online or give us a call. We’ll provide a free, personalized estimate based on the structure’s condition, dimensions, and desired finish. :)
A few small steps can help the process go smoothly: Clear the work area (remove furniture, objects, etc.). Make sure access is safe and unobstructed. For exterior projects, keep in mind that weather (humidity and freezing) can affect the timeline. If you have specific constraints — like limited parking or difficult access — let us know in advance.
The timeline depends on the structure’s condition and the amount of rust. After inspection, we’ll provide a detailed schedule. The process includes rust removal, primer application, and oil painting. For an average-sized staircase, the work usually takes a few days. We maintain constant communication and ensure the site is left clean throughout the project.
If your structure has structural damage, we can evaluate the need for welding or part replacement before painting. Just mention it when you request your estimate.
We use only professional-grade products specifically adapted to Québec’s climate: Oil-based metal paint, resistant to humidity and cold temperatures. Rust-inhibiting primer for maximum adhesion and long-lasting protection. When properly maintained, wrought iron treated this way can stay in excellent condition for many years.
Yes — we serve Montréal, the South Shore, and the North Shore. We regularly work on metal structures such as balconies, staircases (straight or spiral), railings, and fences across the Greater Montréal area.
We offer two oil-based finishes: matte and glossy. The choice depends on your preferences and the project’s style: Glossy: A bright, elegant look — perfect for decorative elements. Matte: A softer, refined finish — ideal for exterior railings and stairs.
Yes. Wrought iron is durable but vulnerable to corrosion. Rust spreads exponentially, and if left untreated, it can weaken or perforate the metal. The longer you wait, the more costly repairs become. Treating rust early prevents further damage and preserves your structure.
We follow a three-step process: Rust removal: We remove all traces of rust using a professional grinder to expose the clean metal. Application of primer: An oil-based rust-inhibiting primer is applied to seal the surface and ensure strong paint adhesion. Finishing coat: We use an oil paint formulated to resist humidity and Québec’s cold winters, available in matte or glossy finishes.
