Fence Maintenance Boulder

Initial Consultation and Fence Inspection

The first step of any fence maintenance or repair project is a detailed inspection and consultation. Our Boulder fence contractor will come to your property to visually examine the current state of your fence. We look for any signs of damage, decay, weakness, or instability. We also consider the fence’s age, type of material, how it was installed, and other factors that impact its condition.

During the inspection, we will:

• Walk along the entire perimeter of the fence and carefully inspect each section from both sides
• Check for loose, cracked, warped, or rotting pickets, posts, and rails
• Look for vegetation growing too close that can cause damage
• Test the stability of posts by gently pushing on them
• Identify any previous repairs that may be failing
• Assess the levelness and plumbness of the overall fence
• Take measurements to calculate the linear footage of fencing on your property
• Document any problems with photos
• Ask you questions about any issues you’ve already noticed

Once the inspection is complete, we will review our findings and recommendations with you. We will point out any safety hazards that need immediate attention. For maintenance and repairs, we will provide you with a detailed quote outlining the scope of work and cost. There is no obligation to hire us if you get a quote.

Common Fence Maintenance

Based on the condition of your fence, the maintenance we recommend may include:

Power Washing

Over time, outdoor fences collect dirt, mildew, and environmental stains that can make them look old and worn. Our experts will power wash your fence using special cleaners and the right pressure to remove buildup without damaging the wood. This can dramatically improve the appearance of weathered fences.

Sealing, Painting, and Staining

Applying protective sealants, stains, or paint helps shield wood fences from moisture, UV rays, and other damage. This also provides water repellency and gives your fence extra aesthetic appeal. We will ensure proper prep work is done before applying the coating of your choice.

Fastener Adjustments

We will tighten any loose screws, nails, bolts, rods, or other fasteners throughout the fence. This improves stability and eliminates annoying squeaks or rattling noises when the fence moves in wind.

Post Straightening

Fence posts sometimes lean over time. We can realign and re-secure posts in their proper upright position for optimal fence functioning.

Board Replacement

Rotting, cracked, or missing pickets or rails will be replaced with new, pressure-treated boards that match your fence. We stock common fence board sizes and styles.

Gate Repair

Sagging, misaligned, or non-latching gates detract from your fence’s utility and appearance. We will adjust hardware, hinges, latches, and other components to restore full gate functionality.

Major Fence Repair Processes

For fences needing significant repair, our processes may involve:

Post Replacements

If posts are deteriorating at ground level or leaning severely, we will remove them and install new pressure-treated posts properly anchored into the ground.

Section Teardowns

In some cases, it is best to completely remove and replace large sections of fencing altogether with fresh new pickets, rails, and posts for a consistent appearance.

Custom Fabrication

For homeowners wanting a new and unique fence design, we can fabricate and erect custom fencing made of wood, metal, PVC, or other materials. This allows you to upgrade your fence exactly how you want.

Full Fence Replacement

After many years, it may be time to completely replace your entire fence to restore its structural integrity and aesthetics. We will demolish and haul away the old fencing, then install your new fence.

Ongoing Fence Care

To make the repairs and improvements we provide last longer, we recommend clients follow these fencing care tips:

• Inspect your fence twice per year and look for signs of wear, weathering, or damage. Address any issues right away before they worsen.
• Clear away foliage or branches rubbing against the fence. Keep grass and weeds trimmed back.
• Re-coat wood fences with sealant or stain every 2-3 years.
• Wipe PVC or vinyl fences down with a siding cleaner occasionally.
• Test fence gates to ensure proper function and lubricate hardware as needed.
• Avoid pushing snow against fences or allowing kids to climb on them excessively.

Following our professional maintenance combined with proper ongoing care will keep your fence looking its best and functioning properly for years before needing major work again.
