Q&A
What fence materials hold up best in Denver’s climate?
In Denver’s dry climate with heavy sun and occasional snow, materials like cedar, vinyl, and galvanized steel tend to perform well. Cedar resists rot when properly sealed, while vinyl doesn’t warp or fade easily. For maximum durability, we also offer pressure-treated wood and aluminum options. During your free consultation, we can recommend the best material based on your property’s sun exposure and wind conditions.
How often should I pressure wash and seal my fence in Denver?
We generally recommend pressure washing and resealing every 2–3 years, especially for wood fences exposed to harsh UV and snowmelt. Our pressure washing removes dirt, mold, and old stain, followed by a high-quality sealant to repel moisture and prevent cracking. This routine maintenance can double the life of your fence and keep it looking fresh.
My old fence is leaning and has gaps after winter. Can you repair it without replacing the whole thing?
Yes, we often repair leaning posts by re-setting them with concrete, replacing damaged rails, and filling gaps with new pickets. In many cases, we can also pressure wash and stain the existing fence to match the repaired sections. We’ll inspect the entire fence and give you honest advice on whether a full replacement is necessary or if targeted repairs will do the job.
