Fence Maintenance Dearborn, MI

Comprehensive Fence Inspection

The first step of professional fence maintenance involves a detailed inspection of your entire perimeter. Our fence experts will walk along each segment, visually assessing and physically testing for:

• Loose, protruding, or damaged pickets
• Rotting wood posts, panels or mounting hardware
• Deterioration of gate latches, hinges, or rollers
• Holes at ground-level allowing pets or wildlife through
• Tunnels under bottom fence edge causing sinking or leaning
• Rusted, damaged or stretched wire on chain link fences
• Overgrowth of vines, bushes or tree limbs on or near the fence

We also carefully check that gate self-closing mechanisms function properly for pool codes. Our comprehensive inspections ensure no maintenance issue gets overlooked.

Prioritized Fence Repairs

Following the fence inspection, our team creates custom repair solutions based on the specific issues found at your property. We prioritize addressing any safety, security or accessibility concerns first.

For example, removing overgrowth blocking access gates or repairing loose panels that could topple over must be remedied right away.

Generally, our fence maintenance repairs may involve:

Fence Pickets:

• Realigning, securing or replacing loose pickets
• Patching holes or gaps with matching wood materials
• Installing new post caps over exposed wood ends

Fence Posts:

• Reinforcing posts using plumb-level realignment methods
• Filling small holes or cracks with epoxy filler products
• Replacing severely deteriorated posts as needed

Fence Hardware:

• Tightening/replacing loose bolts, nails, screws, brackets
• Lubricating/fixing sticky locks, latches, rollers or handles
• Adjusting/replacing broken, rusted or stretched parts

Fence Accessories:

• Trimming vines, bushes, branches hindering access
• Clearing debris piles causing ground-level gaps
• Patching holes under bottom fence edge using gravel

Our fence experts have the skills and supplies for handling any repair your barricade requires, whether minor tweaks or full section replacements.

We obtain any necessary permits for repairing fences over 7 feet tall within Dearborn city limits. And we always follow proper protocols to dig safe depths when resetting fence posts.

Thorough Fence Cleaning Service

Ensuring your fence stays clear of dirt, mildew and organic buildup is key for longevity and appearance. Our professional maintenance packages include power washing or hand scrubbing fences using a specialty wood cleaner safe for outdoor materials.

For wood types, we gently break apart and lift debris without damaging the grain. Then apply a brightening agent to restore the natural tone if weathering has occured. For chain link, metal, vinyl or other synthetic barricades, our product cut through accumulated grime down to the base.

We carefully section off the worksite and avoid spraying chemicals near gardens, lawn ornaments, pools and patios. Our techs also wear protective eyewear and clothing to safeguard nearby plants and structures. With our fence cleaning, your barricade looks fresh and new again while setting up the optimal surface for sealant application.

Trusted Fence Sealing & Waterproofing

Left unprotected from the elements, wooden fences can quickly warp, crack and rot leading to earlier failure. Metal types also eventually corrode and rust without a barrier. Our maintenance packages include professional strength sealants designed for exterior barricade materials.

For wood surfaces, we apply a penetrating stain that soaks deep into the grain for long-lasting water resistance. The tinted, UV-resistant formula also retains the wood’s natural texture to enhance decorative styles like lattice or shadowbox designs. For chain link, welded wire and other metal fences, a corrosion-inhibiting clear coat prevents rust for a smoother, cleaner look long term.

Proper surface prep work ensures maximum fence sealer adhesion and even coverage across your entire perimeter. And we use fast drying products so you can enjoy your barricade again within hours, not days. With routine sealing every few years, your fence will remain structurally sound and beautiful for over two decades.

Ongoing Fence Inspections & Tune-Ups

While an annual fence maintenance visit provides immense protection for your biggest outdoor asset, we recommend biannual or quarterly tune-ups for optimal longevity in harsh Midwest climates. Our maintenance packages allow you to select your preferred service frequency.

Recurring professional maintenance provides assurance that small issues like loose pickets won’t become major sagging sections over time. Catching and amending minor ground erosion early prevents future post instability. Monitoring sealant wear spots lets you recoat compromised areas before moisture seeps in to warp and rot the wood grain beneath.

In addition to repairs, cleaning and sealing, our regular tune-ups also ensure proper gate functionality for safety and security all year long. Adjusting seasonal expansion and contraction keeps latch alignment precise to prevent unwanted access. And clearing accumulated dirt or debris maintains smooth gate opening and closing. Just a few minutes inspecting operability saves continuous hassles for homeowners.

With our customizable ongoing fence maintenance, both privacy and ornamental barricades retain their integrity, protective ability and visual appeal for decades rather than needing replacement every 5-8 years. Keep your investment secured and your property values high with routine professional service.
