Dutchess Fencing Academie - Poughkeepsie's Trusted Privacy Fence Installation

Loose fasteners are often due to temperature fluctuations that cause wood to expand and contract, as well as moisture that rusts nails and screws. Over time, wind and ground movement can also work hardware loose. We inspect all fasteners and replace them with corrosion-resistant options to prevent recurrence.

Signs include fading color, peeling or flaking stain, and bare wood showing through. Water may no longer bead on the surface, indicating lost protection. In Poughkeepsie's wet climate, unchecked deterioration leads to rot. We recommend annual inspections to catch issues early.

We power-wash the fence to remove old stain and dirt, let it dry fully, then apply a high-quality oil-based or water-repellent stain suited to your fence type. For severe damage, we may sand or replace boards. We also offer a maintenance plan to keep your fence protected year after year.
