Company Background
Delmarva Fence Company, based in Georgetown, DE, brings over 20 years of fencing expertise to Sussex County. Co-owners Michael and Todd Cawood complement each other: Michael’s background as an Eastern Shore native with decades of carpentry experience ensures precision in every installation and repair, while Todd’s sales and logistics background keeps projects running smoothly. Together, they deliver high-quality fence and gate services—from installation and repair to painting, staining, and weatherproofing—at affordable rates. The team understands the unique demands of coastal Delaware, including humidity, salt air, and occasional storms that can accelerate wood rot and rust on metal components. That’s why they prioritize durable materials and proper sealing, especially for homes near landmarks like The Circle or the Sussex County Courthouse. Whether you’re in a historic neighborhood near the Georgetown Speedway or a newer development off Route 113, Delmarva Fence Company provides reliable, neighborly service tailored to local conditions. Their goal is simple: build fences that last, look great, and protect your property without breaking the bank.
Q&A
How does Delmarva Fence Company protect fences from coastal weather in Georgetown?
Given Sussex County’s humidity and salt air, we use pressure-treated lumber and rust-resistant hardware, and we apply high-quality weatherproofing sealants. For automatic gates, we recommend stainless steel components. We also check for proper drainage around posts to prevent rot. Every installation is tailored to the specific microclimate of your Georgetown property, whether near the Inland Bays or closer to town.
Can you repair a wooden fence that has rotted at the base?
Yes. Our repair service includes replacing rotted posts and rails, reinforcing weak sections, and treating the remaining wood to prevent further decay. Michael’s carpentry background ensures the new sections match your existing fence’s style and strength. We also offer full fence replacements if the damage is extensive.
Do you install automatic gates for residential driveways in Georgetown?
Absolutely. We install and repair automatic gates for homes and businesses around Georgetown, including sliding and swing gates. We handle wiring, sensor setup, and remote programming. Todd’s logistics experience helps coordinate delivery and installation efficiently, so your gate operates smoothly for years.
