Maintenance

No matter how well your wooden fence is installed, as with all things in life, it will be subject to wear and tear. It is not indestructible. There are a couple of tips we would be more than happy to share with you when it comes to inspecting your fence and ascertaining its maintenance needs. One should check the pillars to see if they are still firmly planted. Clients should also make sure there is no visible insect damage or bush and tree roots causing unwanted issues. For these tips and more, don’t delay any longer and call us today.

Just Seal It

Varnishing or sealing as it is sometimes called, is a crucial step to ensuring your fence not only looks the best but is also protected fully from anything Mother Nature can throw at it. This process not only prevents excess water from seeping into your wooden fence, it also plays a role in reflecting the sun’s UV rays. These rays can cause your fence to lose its color and weaken the actual structural integrity. Now that you can see how important a professional, regular maintenance program is, get in touch right away.
