Residential Fencing Carson City NV | Call Cody Lewallen Painting

The high-altitude sun and intense UV rays in Carson City are especially tough on wood. Combined with dry summer heat and winter snow, the finish on your fence and gate can break down quickly. The best solution is to use a high-quality stain or paint specifically designed for our climate. At Cody Lewallen Painting, we prep the wood properly and apply a durable, UV-resistant coating to protect your fence for years.

A sticking gate is often a sign of a sagging hinge, swollen wood, or a settling post. In most cases, we can repair your existing gate rather than replace it. Our team will assess the cause—whether it's hardware, wood rot, or ground movement—and make the necessary adjustments or repairs. We then repaint or stain the gate to match, saving you money and restoring smooth operation.

For our dry climate, pressure washing combined with careful scraping is very effective. We start by gently pressure washing to remove loose paint and dirt, then hand-scrape any stubborn spots. For larger areas, we may use a chemical stripper or heat gun to avoid damaging the siding. Proper prep is the key to a long-lasting paint job, and we always ensure the surface is clean and sound before applying new paint.
