Gold Hous - Glendale's Top-Rated Residential Fencing

Glendale's combination of strong sun and periods of moisture causes wood to expand and contract rapidly, leading to warping and cupping. Our repair approach involves assessing the damage: minor warps can sometimes be braced and re-secured, but severely warped pickets or rails are typically replaced to maintain a straight fence line. We also apply UV-resistant stain or paint to slow future degradation.

Not necessarily. Surface rust on metal gate components is common in Glendale's microclimate, especially near hinges where moisture collects. We clean the affected area, treat the rust with a converter, and apply a weatherproof coating. Pitting or flaking usually means the rust has eaten into the metal—we'll assess the structural integrity and either patch the section or recommend hinge/gate replacement if it's too far gone.

For Glendale homes, we recommend a two-step approach: first, seal all end grains and joints with a waterproofing primer; then apply a high-quality exterior-grade paint or stain with UV blockers. Re-application every 3 to 5 years is typical. For metal fences, we use a rust-inhibitive primer and a topcoat made for local conditions. This cuts down on warping, rust, and rot, saving you from frequent repairs.
