Dennis Dunlea - Portsmouth's Professional Fence Contractors
3 Early St, Portsmouth, RI 2871
Common Questions
What are common signs that my fence needs repair from coastal weather?
In Portsmouth's coastal climate, watch for rotting wood, rusted hardware, loose posts, or peeling paint. Salt air and humidity accelerate deterioration. If gates sag or don't latch properly, it's time to call Dennis Dunlea for inspection and repair or replacement.
How can automatic gates hold up against Rhode Island winters?
Dennis Dunlea installs heavy-duty automatic gates with corrosion-resistant materials and sealed electronics to withstand snow, ice, and salt. We recommend seasonal maintenance, including lubricating hinges and checking sensors, to ensure reliable operation year-round.
Do you offer fence options that deter deer and other local wildlife?
Yes, we install deer-proof fencing (8-foot tall mesh or solid privacy) that blends with Portsmouth landscapes. Options like vinyl or coated metal resist damage from pushing and browsing, ideal for properties near wooded areas like Glen Farm or the Sakonnet River.
