Fences deteriorate significantly over time. It can be due to harsh weather, sudden accidents, or the normal aging process. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you revive your fence. Big Jerry’s Fencing is all about fence restoration and replacement!
1. Weather-Damaged Fences
Storm Damage
Strong winds will break wooden posts, bend metal fencing, or throw debris against your fence. Many times, strong storms leave fences leaning or partly uprooted.
Water Damage
Prolonged exposure to rain or snow can weaken wood, resulting in rot and warping. For metal fences, moisture can cause rust and corrosion.
Extreme Heat or Cold
This can cause the vinyl fences to crack during hot summers, while in freezing temperatures, fences become brittle and are more likely to break.
Our Solution
We provide replacements using weather-resistant materials tailored to withstand local conditions. For example, we might recommend vinyl or aluminum for areas prone to rain or snow because of their durability and low maintenance. With every replacement, we ensure proper installation techniques to increase your fence’s resilience against future weather events.
2. Accidental Damage
Vehicle Collisions
Accidents involving cars can cause severe damage, leaving fences broken or completely destroyed.
Fallen Trees or Branches
During storms or due to aging trees, heavy branches may fall on fences, crushing or dislodging sections.
Construction and Landscaping Mishaps
Renovations or landscaping work near fences can accidentally damage or displace them.
Our Solution
After an accident, our team inspects the crime area. We assess the extent of damage and evaluate the structural integrity of the entire fence.
3. Age-Related Deterioration
Wood Rot and Decay
Wooden fences are vulnerable to termites, mold, and moisture, which can lead to extensive rot.
Metal Rusting
Even galvanized or coated metal fences may develop rust over decades of exposure to the elements.
Our Solution
If your fence is showing advanced signs of wear, replacement is often the best option. We use high-quality, modern materials designed to outlast their predecessors. For instance, treated wood resists rot better, while vinyl fences now include UV inhibitors to prevent sun damage.
4. Thorough Assessment Before Replacement
Before recommending a replacement, our team conducts a detailed inspection. Key steps include:
Material Analysis
We assess whether the existing materials can be salvaged or if they are beyond repair. For example, slightly warped wood may be reinforced, but completely decayed posts must be replaced.
Structural Integrity Check
We test the strength of your fence to ensure it can stand the test of time if partially repaired.
