Experienced Fencing Company in Metairie, LA 70001 - J & J Remodeling and Leos Gabinet Services

Metairie’s high humidity and frequent rain create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow on wooden fences. The moisture gets trapped in the wood grain, especially in shaded areas. Our solution includes a thorough electric inspection of any nearby wiring before starting work, followed by professional cleaning with a mildew-specific treatment. We then apply a weather-resistant sealant designed for our local climate. We also recommend replacing any heavily affected boards with pressure-treated wood to prevent future growth.

Loose fence panels are often caused by strong winds from Louisiana storms loosening nails and screws over time, or by the wooden posts rotting at the base due to moisture. We first perform an electric inspection to ensure no underground or post-mounted wiring is damaged. Then we re-secure panels with rust-resistant fasteners and install new, galvanized brackets for extra stability. If the posts are rotted, we replace them with concrete-set, treated posts that can better withstand our wet soil.

Many fences and gates in Metairie are near or attached to structures that have outdoor lighting, outlets, or electric gate openers. Before we dig post holes or remove rotting panels, we perform an electric inspection to locate any buried lines or exposed wiring. This prevents accidental shocks, power outages, or damage to your home's electrical system. It also ensures that any new gate openers we install are properly grounded and safe to use in wet conditions.
