J & H Handyman & Landscape | Expert Commercial Fencing in Altamonte Springs, FL

A failing gate latch is often caused by misalignment from sagging hinges or a ground shift, or by worn internal springs in the latch mechanism. We inspect the entire gate system, realign hinges, tighten hardware, or replace the latch assembly with a weather-resistant model. For automatic gates, we also check the control board and motor settings to ensure proper closure cycles.

Look for rust spots on wrought iron, loose or missing finials, sagging sections, cracks in decorative concrete or aluminum posts, and gates that drag on the ground. These signs point to corrosion, ground settlement, or fastener failure. We can address them early by sanding and repainting rust spots, anchoring loose posts, and replacing damaged panels—saving you from a full fence replacement.

Yes, we offer fence weatherproofing services using high-quality wood sealers or waterproof stains for wood fences, and rust-inhibitive primers and paints for metal fences. For wood, we first clean and sand the surface, apply a mildewcide treatment, then seal or stain. For metal, we scrape and treat any rust before applying a topcoat. This extends the life of your fence significantly in our humid climate.
