Fence Installation San Antonio TX | Call Icare Maintenance Services

High humidity and frequent summer rains cause metal gate hinges and latches to corrode over time. Solutions include removing loose rust with a wire brush, applying a rust-inhibiting primer, and replacing severely rusted hinges or bolts. Icare Maintenance Services can also install galvanized or stainless-steel hardware that resists moisture better in our local climate.

Look for sagging gate posts, rust spots on metal components, or wood rot near the base of fence pickets. A gate that drags or won't latch properly is a clear sign the hardware or posts have shifted. Catching these signs early prevents a small fix from turning into a full replacement.

In most cases, we can replace only the rusted hardware—hinges, latches, or brackets—without touching the rest of the fence. However, if the rust has spread to the fence panels or posts, or if the wood is rotted, the affected sections may need repair or replacement. We'll inspect your fence and give you a straightforward recommendation.
