Alexander Fencing & Construction - Midlothian's Professional Fence Contractors

Chain link fence corrosion in our area is often caused by high humidity, occasional rain, and soil moisture. The galvanized coating can wear down over time, especially near sprinkler systems or in low spots where water pools. Alexander Fencing & Construction combats this by using thicker galvanized steel and applying a protective coating where needed. Regular cleaning and a simple rust-inhibiting spray can also help prolong the life of your fence.

Fence discoloration in Midlothian is typically from UV rays, rain, and dust, which can leach tannins from the wood and cause it to gray or develop mildew. While it's a natural aging process, it can be addressed. Alexander Fencing & Construction can power wash the fence to remove surface grime and then apply a high-quality stain or water-resistant sealant to restore the color and protect against further discoloration. If the discoloration is uneven or patchy, it might be a sign of trapped moisture, so we always inspect the fence for proper drainage and ventilation.

For a rusted chain link fence, the first step is to remove the loose rust with a wire brush or a rust remover. Alexander Fencing & Construction then applies a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a weather-resistant paint designed for metal fencing. If the rust has caused holes or structural weakness, we can replace the affected sections of the chain link fabric or the posts. For a long-term solution, we offer installation of new, galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link that is much more resistant to corrosion in our local climate.
