Common Questions
Why do fences in Ocean View need frequent weatherproofing?
Ocean View gets intense sun, rain, and strong winds blowing in from the Pacific. The UV rays can fade and crack wood, while moisture leads to rot and mold. Salt spray from the coast speeds up rust on metal components. Braddah Brad's applies high-quality sealants and rust inhibitors designed for coastal environments. We also recommend annual inspections to catch small issues before they become big problems. It's a simple step that can double the life of your fence.
How can I tell if my fence has termite damage?
Look for mud tubes on the surface of wooden posts or rails, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, or small piles of sawdust near the base. In Ocean View, the warm, humid climate makes termites active year-round. If you notice sagging sections or gates that don't close right, termites could be the culprit. Braddah Brad's can do a thorough inspection, replace damaged sections, and treat the surrounding soil to prevent future infestations. We also offer termite-resistant materials like pressure-treated wood or composite for new installations.
What's the best type of gate for strong winds here in Ocean View?
For automatic gates, we recommend heavy-duty steel or aluminum frames with wind-rated panels—solid gates can act like sails and strain the opener. A manual gate should have sturdy hinges and a self-closing mechanism to handle gusts. Braddah Brad's installs gates with reinforced posts set deep in concrete, especially in exposed areas like near the South Point cliffs. We also offer perforated or slatted designs that let wind pass through, reducing stress on the structure. We'll assess your property's wind exposure and recommend the best option to keep your gate working smoothly.
