Fence Installation and Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that your fence remains in good condition, regardless of the type of fence you have. Although it's best to schedule regular fence maintenance to prevent any damage from worsening unexpectedly, here are a few tips to help you keep your fence looking great year-round:

  • For wood fences, make sure boards don't touch the ground to prevent moisture damage. Use insecticide to keep termites and ants from damaging the fence.
  • Regularly remove debris like weeds and rocks from around the fence.
  • Clean vinyl and aluminum fences annually with a mild soap solution or a gentle power wash.
  • Repair any broken or loose boards, hinges, or posts before they cause an accident or harm someone.
  • Remove any peeling or flaking paint on wood fences and refinish the surface.
