76 Fence - Ames's Top-Rated Residential Fencing
Ames, IA 50014
Q&A
How does 76 Fence handle fence weatherproofing for Ames’ harsh winters?
Ames winters bring snow, ice, and temperature swings that can warp wood and rust metal gates. Our weatherproofing includes applying high-grade sealants and stains that resist moisture and UV damage. We recommend annual inspections before winter to catch cracks or loose posts early. For metal gates, we use rust-inhibiting primers and paints. This service helps extend the life of your fence, especially in neighborhoods near Ada Hayden Heritage Park where wind exposure is higher.
What types of fences do you install for residential properties in Ames?
We install a variety of fences including privacy, picket, chain-link, and vinyl options. For Ames homeowners, we often recommend pressure-treated wood or composite materials that handle humidity and freeze-thaw cycles well. We also install manual gates for driveways or pathways, and can match the style to your existing fence. Our team works in areas like Somerset and near the Iowa State University campus, ensuring proper setback and HOA compliance.
Can you repair a gate that’s sagging or not latching properly?
Yes, we specialize in manual gate repair. Common issues include sagging hinges, misaligned latches, or posts that have shifted due to soil movement. We assess the cause, tighten or replace hardware, and realign the gate. For older wooden gates, we may reinforce the frame. This service is popular in older Ames neighborhoods like Northridge where gates have weathered over time.
