G A General Construction: Local Commercial Fencing Serving Modesto, CA 95350

Yes, rusting metal fence components are a frequent issue here in Modesto because of irrigation overspray and the valley's summer heat and winter dampness. The cause is often just standard galvanized steel being exposed to moisture over time. The signs are obvious: orange-brown streaks, flaking metal, and weakened posts. We can definitely cut out and replace just the rusted posts or gate hinges, saving you from tearing down the whole fence. We'll set new galvanized or powder-coated posts in concrete, and if needed, we can patch or replace the panels.

The main cause is usually a combination of poor original installation and high winds that we get off the valley floor. Signs include sagging sections, visible gaps between boards, or panels leaning after a storm. The best solution isn't just replacing the damaged panel – it's reinforcing the entire run. We'll pull out damaged panels, reset any loose posts, and install new, pre-stained redwood or cedar panels. For new construction, we can add wind bracing. If drywall behind the fence was also cracked from the fence slamming, we can patch and texture that too.

Absolutely. It's not uncommon for a heavy fence panel to fall and damage the interior drywall of an attached garage, especially near Modesto's older neighborhoods. The sign is a big hole or cracked tape and mud. We handle the whole thing: we'll first secure or replace the fence so it doesn't happen again, then inside the garage we'll cut out the damaged drywall, install a new patch, tape, mud, and texture to match. We can also handle any structural repair needed on the garage wall framing.
