Ellis Carpentry & Fencing: Experienced Fence Installation Serving Metairie, LA 70001

The salty air and humidity near Lake Pontchartrain and in Metairie accelerate rust on chain link fences. Signs include orange discoloration, flaking metal, and weakened posts. For minor rust, we can sand and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. For severe corrosion, we replace affected sections or the entire fence. We also offer weatherproofing coatings to prevent future rust.

After a storm, check for leaning posts, broken rails, or torn panels. Hurricane-force winds often uproot posts or snap wooden boards. We can assess the damage and provide temporary bracing to prevent further collapse. For repairs, we replace damaged sections, reinforce posts with concrete, and recommend impact-resistant materials for future storms.

Yes. Our painting and staining services seal wood and metal fences against moisture, reducing rot and corrosion. We first clean and repair the fence, then apply a weatherproof stain or paint designed for local conditions. This extends the fence’s lifespan and improves its appearance, especially after exposure to humidity and rain.
