We offer specialized fence maintenance services for all types of fencing materials, ensuring each receives the specific care it needs to thrive in our coastal environment.

Wood Fence Maintenance

Our wood fence maintenance services include cleaning, staining, sealing, and minor repairs to prevent rot, warping, and insect damage. We use high-quality, weather-resistant stains and sealants that protect the wood from UV rays and moisture, significantly extending its life and enhancing its natural beauty.

Our vinyl fence maintenance includes pressure washing with appropriate solutions to safely remove dirt, mold, and algae without damaging the material.

Chain Link Fence Maintenance

Our chain link fence maintenance includes rust treatment, tension adjustments, and securing loose components to ensure your fence remains secure and functional.

Picket Fence Maintenance

For wood picket fences, we focus on cleaning, painting or staining, and replacing any damaged pickets to maintain a uniform look.

Fence Gate Maintenance

Our fence gate maintenance services include inspecting and lubricating hinges, adjusting latches for proper closure, and reinforcing posts to prevent sagging.

Fence Problems We Prevent with Maintenance

Fading and Weathering: Regular cleaning, staining, and sealing protect your fence from UV damage and harsh weather, preventing premature fading and deterioration.

Mildew and Algae Buildup: Our cleaning services effectively remove mildew, algae, and other organic growths that can not only detract from your fence's appearance but also cause long-term damage.

Sagging Gates and Posts: Regular gate and post maintenance, including hinge lubrication and post reinforcement, prevents sagging and ensures proper functionality.

Pest Infestations: While not a primary pest control service, a well-maintained fence is less attractive to pests, and our inspections can help identify early signs of insect damage.

Rot and Decay (Wood Fences): Proper wood fence maintenance, including sealing and addressing moisture issues, is crucial in preventing rot and decay, especially in the humid Gulf Coast climate.

Loose or Damaged Fasteners: Routine inspections allow us to identify and tighten or replace loose nails, screws, or other fasteners before they lead to structural instability.

Rust and Corrosion (Metal Fences): For chain link and other metal fences, our maintenance includes rust treatment and protective coatings to prevent corrosion and maintain structural integrity.

General Wear and Tear: Consistent fence care minimizes the effects of everyday wear and tear, keeping your fence looking newer for longer and delaying the need for extensive repairs.

No matter the material or problem, we’ve got a fix.

How Our Fence Maintenance Process Works

Initial Assessment and Inspection:

Brian, our owner-operator, will conduct a detailed on-site inspection of your fence. This involves a thorough examination of the fence material, structure, gates, and any existing signs of wear, damage, or potential issues. We identify areas requiring immediate attention and discuss your specific concerns and goals for your fence maintenance.

Customized Maintenance Plan & Quote

Based on the assessment, we develop a personalized fence maintenance plan. This plan outlines the recommended services, such as cleaning, staining, sealing, minor repairs, or adjustments, along with a transparent, no-pressure quote. We ensure you understand every aspect of the plan and its benefits.

Preparation and Cleaning

Before any treatment, we meticulously prepare your fence. This often involves a gentle yet effective cleaning process to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and loose debris. For wood fences, this might include light sanding to prepare the surface for staining or sealing. This step is crucial for the longevity and effectiveness of subsequent treatments.

Application of Protective Treatments

Depending on your fence material and the agreed-upon plan, we apply high-quality protective treatments. This could include weather-resistant stains and sealants for wood fences to protect against moisture and UV damage, or rust inhibitors and protective coatings for metal fences. These treatments are vital for preserving your fence's appearance and structural integrity.

Minor Repairs and Adjustments

As part of our comprehensive fence maintenance, we address any minor issues identified during the inspection. This includes tightening loose fasteners, adjusting sagging gates, reinforcing wobbly posts, or replacing small damaged sections. Our goal is to fix small problems before they escalate into major, costly repairs.

Final Review and Cleanup

Once the maintenance work is complete, we conduct a final review to ensure all tasks have been performed to our high standards and your satisfaction. We then meticulously clean the work area, leaving your property tidy and your fence looking its best. Our commitment is to leave your yard in better condition than we found it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I perform fence maintenance?

The frequency of fence maintenance depends on the material of your fence, the local climate, and its exposure to elements. Generally, wood fences require annual inspection and treatment (staining/sealing) every 2-3 years. Vinyl and chain link fences benefit from annual cleaning and inspection. We can provide a tailored recommendation during our initial assessment.

Can regular fence maintenance prevent costly repairs?

Absolutely. Proactive fence maintenance is the best way to prevent minor issues from escalating into major, expensive repairs. By addressing problems like loose fasteners, early signs of rot, or rust promptly, you can significantly extend your fence's lifespan and avoid the need for extensive overhauls or replacements.

What types of products do you use for fence maintenance?

We use high-quality, professional-grade products specifically chosen for their effectiveness and durability in the Gulf Coast environment. For wood fences, this includes premium stains and sealants that offer superior protection against UV rays, moisture, and mildew. For other materials, we use appropriate cleaning agents and protective treatments that are safe and effective.

Is fence maintenance a DIY job, or should I hire a professional?

While some basic cleaning can be a DIY task, comprehensive fence maintenance, especially for wood fences, often requires specialized knowledge, tools, and products to ensure proper application and safety. Hiring a professional like Coastal Custom Fencing ensures the job is done correctly, efficiently, and with long-lasting results, saving you time and potential headaches.
