Yes, powder-coated aluminum is generally the most budget-friendly option when compared to wrought iron in the Austin and Central Texas region.
Based on our local pricing for the greater Austin area, here is how the materials compare in terms of investment:
- Powder-Coated Aluminum: Typically costs between $30 – $60 per linear foot installed. It offers minimal maintenance and is resistant to rust, though it has more limited customization options.
- Ornamental Steel: A middle-ground option that averages $40 – $80 per linear foot installed. It is low maintenance and provides a variety of style choices.
- Wrought Iron: The premium choice, ranging from $50 – $100 per linear foot installed. While it offers the highest level of traditional customization (such as decorative scrolls and finials), it requires periodic painting to prevent rust.
As your dependable team with over 20 years of experience, we provide high-quality workmanship for all these material types. We also offer special discounts for first responders, military, veterans, and teachers to help you LOCK IN STYLE for your property.
