Genesee Fence - Sarasota's Experienced Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Aging fence systems in Sarasota are primarily caused by prolonged exposure to humidity, salt air, and intense sun. This leads to wood rot, warping, and rust on metal fences. Our solution involves a thorough inspection followed by targeted repairs, such as replacing rotten posts, tightening loose hardware, and applying weatherproofing treatments. For severely aged systems, we recommend a complete replacement with materials better suited to the local climate.

Signs of damaged ornamental fencing include visible rust spots, loose or missing pickets, cracked welds, and gates that sag or don't latch properly. In Sarasota's coastal environment, rust can spread quickly if left untreated. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to schedule a repair service. We can sand down rust, re-weld broken sections, and apply a fresh coat of paint or stain to restore both function and appearance.

The most effective weatherproofing for Sarasota's humid and salty environment involves using high-quality sealants and paints designed for coastal conditions. For wood fences, we recommend a penetrating oil-based stain with UV protection. For metal fences, a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a marine-grade paint works best. Our weatherproofing service includes cleaning the surface, applying the protective coating, and ensuring all joints and fasteners are sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.
