Fence Maintenance Midland, TX

When you choose Fence Company Midland TX for your fence maintenance, you can rely on our 5 stage process performed by our qualified technicians:

Initial Fence Inspection

The first step our team takes is doing a complete visual inspection of your entire fence line to note any existing damage, wear and tear, or other issues needing repair. We look at:

• Loose or missing boards, pickets, posts, gates or hardware
• Rotting wood from exposure or termites/pests
• Rusting, dents, or holes in chain link fences
• Warping or cracking boards, posts, gates
• Soil erosion under or around fence posts

We may use tools like pliers, post hole probes, and awls to test integrity and tap or shake posts and panels to check for looseness. Any potential hazards get flagged and documented.

Discuss Repair Recommendations

Next, our fence maintenance experts will review our inspection findings and make repair recommendations tailored to your specific needs and budget. This may involve:

• Replacing individual damaged pickets, posts, gates, or panels
• Repairing posts with cracks, rot, or loosening in the ground
• Reinforcing posts with concrete to prevent future loosening
• Securing loose boards/pickets with new nails, screws, brackets
• Applying protective coatings to wood fences to prevent moisture damage
• Patching holes or dents in metal or vinyl fencing

We know cost is often a concern which is why we offer effective fence revitalization solutions whether minor touch ups or full replacements. Our goal is always maximum longevity through proactive repairs.

Perform Fence Repairs

With your approval, we’ll commence the actual fence repair process using high quality building materials and galvanized/stainless steel hardware for long lasting durability:

• We dig holes to replace severely rotted 4×4 or 6×6 posts secured with concrete
• Gate posts get steel brackets and covered with post caps
• Pickets/boards get replaced and properly spaced/aligned
• We re-stretch loose sagging sections of chain link
• Vinyl caps or galvanized nails replace old rusty ones
• Wood fences get sanded, primed, and stained/sealed

Safety is also paramount so we set up barricades/cones to cordon off active repair zones from passersby or pets. Debris gets cleared and holes filled to restore a smooth grade.

Post-Repair Testing & Inspection

Once repairs are complete, our technicians thoroughly inspect their own work to ensure:

• Replaced posts, gates and panels feel snug/secure
• Spacing between pickets/boards meets code
• Fence lines appear straight, plumb and level
• All exposed wood and metal has been properly sealed
• No remaining loose boards, protruding nails/screws

We also walk the perimeter and gently shake sections to double check for soundness while looking out for any apparent defects needing added attention.

Provide Fence Care Recommendations

While repairs address most major deficiencies, proper ongoing fence care is crucial to maximize longevity and value. Our team will offer tips before leaving such as:

• Clear debris, foliage, or dirt buildup along the fence line
• Reseal wood fences every 1-2 years
• Spot paint chipped vinyl/metal fencing
• Regularly inspect for new damage after storms
• Keep spray irrigation water from directly hitting fences
• Consider protective fencing to shield from lawnmowers

Following our practical recommendations helps proactively preserve your fence investment for years before needing full replacement. We want to equip customers with the knowledge for self-care when we are not around.
