Fence Maintenance San Luis Obispo, CA

Initial Consultation and Planning

Before every fence maintenance appointment, we take time to understand the current state of your fence and gates. This allows us to customize the ideal maintenance plan for your unique property. We will evaluate:

• Fence type, height, and total linear footage
• Age and current condition of materials
• Known problem areas or defects
• Goals for functionality and aesthetics

By tailoring the maintenance to your specific fence, we can work efficiently while addressing your top priorities.

Thorough Inspection

Our technician will begin by walking the entire perimeter of your fence line to check for any visible issues. This includes looking for:

• Loose or protruding nails, screws, bolts or fasteners
• Rotting, cracked or warped wooden planks
• Rusting or dents on metal fencing
• Sagging or stretched mesh on chain link fences
• Deteriorating concrete at posts
• Damaged poles or posts
• Grounds erosion around posts
• Compromised gates or latches

Additionally, we inspect how level and plumb each fence section is and check for proper structural integrity. Signs of weakness could indicate the need for reinforcements to prevent future failure.

The fence technician will also clear any vegetation or debris pressed against the fence. This can prevent further material deterioration and allows for proper maintenance access.

As problem areas are discovered, the technician takes photographic evidence and detailed notes on the needed repairs.
