Who They're For and What They Solve
Fence maintenance is the scheduled care that keeps an existing fence structurally sound and looking sharp. It covers cleaning built-up grime, renewing protective coatings, tightening loose hardware and posts, and treating corrosion before it spreads. The fence stays where it is. We restore what is already standing.
Property owners need fence maintenance when a fence is functional but showing wear. Wood turning silver-gray, vinyl clouding with mildew, chain-link or wrought iron freckled with rust, gates dragging, pickets working loose. Most fences need attention every two to three years, sooner in harsh sun or heavy moisture conditions.
Maintenance solves the slow decline that turns a repairable fence into a replacement project. Untreated wood absorbs moisture, rots at the base, and fails. Surface rust eats through metal. Loose posts lean further each season. Skipping maintenance does not save money it just moves the expense into a much larger bill.
Is It Time?
Most fences tell you well before they fail.
Our Services
Our fence maintenance work breaks into four core methods, applied based on your fence material and its current condition.
We strip away mildew, algae, dirt, and chalking with material-appropriate pressure and cleaning agents. Wood gets low-pressure treatment to avoid fiber damage. This is always the first step coating over a dirty surface is exactly why finishes peel.
After the surface dries fully, we apply penetrating stain, clear sealant, or exterior-grade paint depending on the material and your preference. This blocks moisture, resists UV fading, and typically holds up two to three years before renewal.
We inspect and tighten every hinge, bracket, screw, and tension band, then reset or reinforce posts that have shifted. Loose fasteners get replaced with corrosion-resistant equivalents so the fix holds through weather cycles.
Corroded areas on chain-link, aluminum, wrought iron, and steel get wire-brushed or ground back to sound metal, primed with a rust-inhibiting base, then finished with a protective topcoat matched to the existing fence.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.

Pricing
We price fence maintenance by linear foot, quoted flat and in writing before any work begins.
Most residential maintenance falls between $4 and $12 per linear foot, which puts a typical 150-foot fence in the $600 to $1,800 range. Cleaning and sealing sits at the lower end. Full rust treatment with structural post work sits at the upper end.
Four factors move your price: fence material and length, current condition and prep required, the specific methods needed, and accessibility along the fence line.
Every quote includes materials, labor, cleanup, and the two-year workmanship guarantee. Nothing gets added after.
Wood fences typically need cleaning and resealing every two to three years. Vinyl and metal fences generally need attention every three to five years.
Substantially. Maintenance runs $4 to $12 per linear foot. Full replacement runs $25 to $60 per linear foot depending on material.
We will tell you honestly during the assessment. Damaged sections, broken posts, or structural failure fall under our fence repair service , which we quote separately so you only pay for what is actually needed.
Stain adds color and UV protection while penetrating the wood. Sealant is typically clear and focuses purely on blocking moisture. Many fences get both.
Most residential fences finish in one to two days, including drying time between cleaning and coating. Longer runs may take three.
