D&T General Contracting: Whittier General Contractors & Fence Repair

The main causes are constant moisture from morning fog or sprinklers, and the salty air that can travel inland from the coast. Over time, this leads to surface rust that can spread. To prevent it, we recommend painting or powder-coating galvanized steel components, ensuring proper drainage around fence posts, and scheduling annual inspections. If rust has already started, we can remove it, treat the metal, and apply a protective finish.

If you notice widespread rust holes, loose or leaning posts, splintered wood, or sections that wobble in the wind, it's often more cost-effective to replace the entire fence. Another sign is when multiple panels have lost their coating and the metal underneath is flaking. Our team can assess the structure and recommend whether a targeted repair or a full replacement is the best long-term solution for your property.

Absolutely. We often include fencing as part of new structure construction, garage remodeling, or ADU projects. For example, if you're adding a guest house or remodeling your backyard, we coordinate the fence installation with the overall timeline and design. This ensures a cohesive look, proper setbacks, and a single point of contact for all your construction needs.
