#1 Fence Maintenance Company in San Mateo

Initial Fence Inspection

The first step in our fence maintenance process is a comprehensive inspection of your existing fence. Our technicians will walk the entire perimeter of your fence line, carefully examining every component from top to bottom.

We check for:

• Loose or protruding nails
• Rotting wood posts or crossbars
• Cracked, peeling, or worn paint/stain
• Rust on metal parts
• Sagging sections
• Leaning posts
• Damaged gates/hardware
• Ground erosion around posts
• Excessive vegetation touching the fence

Any issues that are identified will be documented and photographed so we can include them in our maintenance plan. You’ll receive a detailed inspection report outlining all of our findings.

Custom Maintenance Plan

Based on the results of the fence inspection, we will create a customized maintenance plan tailored to your specific fence’s needs. This will include:

• Step-by-step instructions for all necessary repairs
• Preventative maintenance recommendations based on fence type/age
• Materials needed for repairs & maintenance tasks
• Estimate of labor time required to complete the work

We will review the full plan with you in detail before any work begins. This ensures you know exactly what to expect throughout the maintenance process. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and make any desired changes to the plan during this review.

Carrying Out Repairs

With your approval, we’ll proceed with implementing all repairs outlined in the maintenance plan. This may involve:

Replacing Damaged Boards

We will remove and replace any severely damaged, rotting, or broken boards. New boards will be carefully cut and installed to match the existing pattern/design.

Reinforcing Posts

Posts that are leaning or loose in the ground will be reinforced with additional bracing and fasteners. We may also have to replace very rotten posts completely.

Adjusting/Replacing Hardware

Any loose, corroded, or damaged nails, screws, brackets, hinges, latches, etc. will be adjusted or replaced as needed to restore full functionality.

Gate Repairs

Sagging or misaligned gates will be re-hung and adjusted to open/close smoothly. We’ll replace any damaged gate hardware as well.

Painting/Sealing

We’ll spot-paint any areas where the paint is cracked, peeling, or worn away. Your entire fence can be power washed and re-stained/sealed if desired.

Vegetation Removal

Overgrown vegetation touching the fence will be trimmed back or removed as necessary to prevent damage.

Preventative Maintenance

In addition to repairs, we also perform key maintenance tasks to keep your fence looking its best for as long as possible. This includes:

• Power washing
• Sealing/staining
• Applying protective treatments
• Checking for ground erosion
• Clearing debris around the fence
• Adjusting hardware
• Removing vegetation
• Monitoring high-traffic areas

Proper preventative maintenance is crucial for maximizing your fence’s lifespan and reducing the need for expensive repairs down the road. We want to catch issues early before they escalate into bigger problems.

Follow-Up & Next Steps

Once all maintenance work is completed, we will walk the fence with you to ensure you’re fully satisfied with the results. We’ll also discuss recommended next steps, such as when to schedule the next maintenance check-up.

Ongoing fence maintenance is key – we can provide service on a regular schedule to inspect and care for your fence year after year. Investing in consistent maintenance now will save you thousands in repairs/replacement costs over time!
