Advanced Door & Gate - Naples's Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing

The high humidity and salt-laden air near the Gulf of Mexico accelerate oxidation on standard steel or iron fences. At Advanced Door & Gate, we address this by recommending and installing powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel gates that are treated with marine-grade finishes. We also perform regular inspections for early signs of rust, applying protective sealants to extend the life of your fence in neighborhoods like Pelican Bay or Old Naples.

After a heavy storm, look for leaning sections, visible gaps between the post and the ground, or cracks in the concrete base. If your gate is dragging or difficult to close, it’s a strong indicator of post movement. Our team in Naples can assess the damage and reinforce or replace the posts with deeper concrete footings to withstand future weather, a common need in areas like Lely Resort or the Moorings.

We start by excavating around the affected post to inspect the foundation. If the concrete base is compromised, we remove it and set a new post using a wider, deeper hole filled with high-strength concrete. For added stability, we may use galvanized steel brackets or helical anchors. This solution is ideal for properties near the coast, such as those in Vanderbilt Beach or Marco Island, where sandy soil and high winds are common.
