What Is Included in Our Fence Service?

We tailor the work to your material, whether it is any type of wood, vinyl, or composite fencing. Services include:

Cleaning of panels, posts, caps, gates, and hardware

Stripping of old finishes

Minor repairs

Stain, sealer, or paint application

Cleaning Wood Fences Without Damage

Wood fences are porous and soft, so high pressure can raise the grain and leave scars. We use low pressure and a professional cleaning solution to lift gray weathering, mildew, and algae. The result is fresh, even wood that is ready to accept stain and seal out moisture for the seasons ahead.

Vinyl and Metal Fence Cleaning

Vinyl fences collect green algae, dirt, and chalky film, especially in shaded areas. Wrought iron and aluminum gather rust spots and grime. We select the right cleaner and method for each material, so vinyl returns to a bright white and metal looks sharp without surface damage.

Staining and Sealing for Long-Lasting Protection

Cleaning is only half the job. A quality stain or sealer shields wood from sun, rain, and winter moisture, slowing graying, cracking, and rot. We recommend products that suit your fence's wood type and age, and we apply them after the boards have dried completely so the finish bonds properly.

Catching these problems early costs far less than replacing boards later.

Gates, Posts, and Hardware

Gates and posts take the most abuse because they sit close to the ground and swing open and shut every day. We clean around hinges, latches, and post bases, treat rust where possible, and seal exposed end grain so moisture cannot creep in. These small details make the whole fence last longer.

Fence Materials We Clean

Different fences need different care, and we adjust our approach for each one:

Wood fences, including cedar and pressure-treated

Vinyl fences

Wrought iron and aluminum fences

We protect nearby plants and grass during cleaning, then restore the fence to a bright, clean finish.
