Q&A
My wooden fence near the East Haven shoreline is showing signs of rot and mildew. What causes this, and how can Fences By Franco help?
The combination of high humidity, salt spray, and frequent rain in coastal East Haven creates a perfect environment for moisture damage. This causes wood to rot and mildew to form, especially if the fence wasn't properly sealed. Fences By Franco can inspect the damage and replace rotted boards. We also offer professional fence weatherproofing and staining services to create a protective barrier that prevents future moisture absorption, extending the life of your fence significantly.
My automatic gate in East Haven is getting stuck halfway open, especially after a snowstorm. What could be the issue?
This is a common sign of ice buildup in the track or a frozen motor, often seen after our harsh Connecticut winters. It could also be a misaligned sensor or a low battery in the backup system. Fences By Franco specializes in automatic gate repair. We'll clear any obstructions, lubricate moving parts with cold-weather grease, and test the sensors and motor to ensure smooth, reliable operation even in the snow.
The paint on my metal gate near the East Haven Green is peeling and there's rust forming. What's the best solution?
Peeling paint and rust on metal gates are typically caused by exposure to road salt in winter and moisture from rain. Once rust starts, it will spread if not treated. Fences By Franco offers fence painting and staining services that include proper surface preparation. We'll sand away the rust, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and then use a high-quality exterior paint designed for our local climate. This restores the look and prevents further corrosion.
