Fence Maintenance Edison, NJ

Initial Fence Inspection

The first step our technicians take is a thorough inspection of your entire fence line. We look at all posts, panels, gates and hardware to check for:

• Rotting or insect damage
• Warping boards or pickets
• Rust on nails, screws or hinges
• Ground erosion around posts
• Leaning or loose sections
• Compromised security latches
• Any other issues affecting structure/function

This allows us to document all areas needing repair and identify potential problems to address before they worsen. If sections require replacement, we’ll provide recommendations on the best options to match your existing fence.

Cleaning and Clearing Debris

Over time, outdoor fences easily accumulate dirt, mildew stains, cobwebs and other debris. Our team uses pressure washing and hand scrubbing with a biodegradable cleaner to remove buildup. For stubborn spots, we’ll use aprotectants to prevent future staining.

We trim back any tree branches or plant overgrowth contacting the fence. It’s vital to clear these away, as sustained contact can scratch wood fences or bend metal posts out of shape over time. Removing the debris also takes away hiding spots for fence-damaging pests.

Repairing Minor Damage

If small sections of your fence panels, posts or gates have come loose, cracked or been damaged, our technicians have the necessary tools and hardware on hand to promptly make repairs. This includes:

• Tightening/replacing loose bolts, screws, nails and hinges
• Patching or sealing holes in panels
• Splicing new wood to replace cracked sections
• Reinforcing posts with angled braces
• Adjusting sagging cross beams for proper gate function
• And more to refortify problem areas

Catching minor damage early on with preventative repairs ensures it won’t grow into major destruction requiring huge sections of your fence to be removed and replaced down the road.

Sealing and Protective Finishes

To help your wood, vinyl or other fence last longer, we apply advanced sealant and/or stain products. This adds a protective barrier preventing moisture intrusion and damage from sun exposure over the seasons.

For wood fences prone to cracking and warping, our penetrating stains contain transgenic formulasto repel both termites and fungal decay. Vinyl/PVC fences stay looking vibrant longer when shielded from UV rays with our exclusive sealing process.

Your fence will maintain structural soundness longer and stay looking fresh with our professional grade protective finishes. We’ll match to your existing fence color or help you choose a bold new one!

Safety Inspections

As parents ourselves, we know securing a backyard is a major concern for families with children or pools. That’s why all our fence maintenance packages include a full safety inspection at no extra charge.

We thoroughly check for any risk factors like:

• Sharp edges from damaged planks
• Compromised latches allowing a gate to swing open
• Leaning posts decreasing fence stability
• Height issues where pets or kids could escape
• Missing finials or decorative spikes
• And any other hazards needing remedy

Ensuring your fence provides reliable protection gives you peace of mind. We won’t rest until certain your family and property stay safely contained.

Service Report & Future Maintenance Plan

After completing the maintenance work on your fence, our lead technician will walk you through the areas addressed. You’ll receive a detailed checklist documenting all repairs made, problems noted for future repairs, safety inspection results, and before/after photos.

We will also provide a customized ongoing maintenance plan based on your specific fence type/condition. This specifies the optimal timeline for repeat cleanings, repairs inspections and sealant reapplication needed to maximize lifespan. Following these recommendations ensures no concerns get missed and saves money over the long run.
