Guardian Fence Company - Middletown's Experienced Fencing Company
4783 Summit Bridge Rd, Middletown, DE 19709
Business Profile
Guardian Fence Company has served Middletown, DE, and the surrounding area since 1957. As a family-owned business, we handle residential, commercial, and industrial fencing, as well as deck construction and repair. Our services include fence installation, repair, painting or staining, and weatherproofing — plus automated gates with cell phone access. We also build and repair wooden decks. For Middletown homeowners, the humidity and storms common in New Castle County can cause wood rot, rust on metal fences, and gate misalignment. We address these by using durable materials like vinyl and ornamental iron, and by offering custom fabrication that withstands local weather. Our shop is located near the intersection of Route 301 and Main Street, just minutes from the Middletown Historic District and Lums Pond State Park. Whether you need a new privacy fence around your backyard or a deck repair after a storm, we provide warranties on materials and consistent safety training for our crew. Call us for a free estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my deck needs repair or replacement?
If you see loose boards, rotting joists, or significant sagging, repair may be possible. But if the deck frame is unstable or the wood is rotting from moisture penetration, replacement is safer. We inspect the structure and advise on cost-effective options — whether that's reinforcing a few sections or building a completely new deck.
What fencing options work best for Middletown’s weather?
Middletown sees humid summers and occasional winter freezes. Vinyl and aluminum fences resist rust and rot better than wood. For wood fences, annual staining and weatherproofing are essential. We also install high-security fences for industrial sites and offer cell-phone-controlled automated gates for convenience. Let us know your property’s specific exposure and we’ll recommend the right material.
Can you repair a fence that’s leaning after a storm?
Yes. Leaning fences are common after heavy winds or wet ground. We reset posts, replace rotted sections, and add concrete footings for stability. Sometimes just tightening the brackets works; other times we replace a few panels. We’ll assess the damage on-site and give you an honest estimate before any work begins.
