Energy Construction | Best Fence Contractors in Davenport, FL

Salt air from nearby lakes and high humidity accelerate corrosion on metal fences, causing rust to appear within a few years. For existing fences, we remove rust with a wire brush, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and finish with a marine-grade paint that resists moisture. If the damage is extensive, we can replace sections with galvanized or aluminum fencing that handles coastal conditions better. It’s a common issue we see near neighborhoods like Loughman and along US 27.

Warping happens when moisture from rain and humidity gets trapped in untreated wood, then dries quickly under the Florida sun. We solve this by replacing damaged boards with pressure-treated, kiln-dried lumber and spacing them slightly for airflow. After installation, we apply a water-repellent sealant to prevent future warping. This is especially helpful for fences near Lake Davenport or in areas with heavy tree cover.

Prevention is key. For new metal fences, we recommend powder-coated aluminum or galvanized steel—they resist salt air much better than bare iron. For wood, we install cedar or treated pine and immediately coat it with a UV-blocking stain. As part of our fencing service, we also advise yearly rinsing of fences to remove salt buildup. We serve many homes in the Providence and Four Corners areas where this is a regular concern.
