Hillsborough Metal Shop | Metal Fabrication, Fences & Gates in Hillsborough, NC

Yes, we can often replace only the affected posts or panels rather than the entire fence. Rot is common in Hillsborough due to moisture near the Eno River. We assess the damage and, if the structure is sound, we'll remove and replace the rotted wood with treated lumber or recommend a metal alternative for longer life.

It could be either. Common signs include a motor that hums but doesn't move, or a gate that sticks. We check the wiring, sensors, and track alignment first, then inspect the motor and hinges. In Hillsborough, debris from storms can also block the track. We’ll diagnose the cause and repair or replace the faulty part.

Absolutely. Weatherproofing protects against rust and corrosion from humidity and rain. We clean the surface, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and then a durable topcoat. This is especially important for fences near the Historic District where older metalwork is common. We also offer periodic staining for wood fences to prevent decay.
