Larry Lemstrom Fencing | Fence Repair & Installation in Inglis, FL

After a storm in Inglis, the first signs often include loose or leaning posts, cracked or splintered wood, and bent or missing pickets. You might also notice that gates don't close properly anymore. At Larry Lemstrom Fencing, we assess the entire fence line for structural integrity. For minor damage, we can replace individual boards and re-set posts. For more severe damage, we recommend rebuilding with pressure-treated wood or vinyl that is specifically rated for high wind zones. Our goal is to restore your fence to a safe, sturdy condition that can handle the next storm.

The high humidity and frequent rain in Inglis create the perfect environment for mold and mildew. It usually starts as dark spots or a greenish film on the shaded or north-facing side of the fence. The best solution is a professional cleaning with a bleach-free wood cleaner or a mild pressure wash to avoid damaging the wood fibers. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality sealant or stain with a mildewcide additive to prevent regrowth. For vinyl or aluminum fences, a simple wash with soap and water often works, but we can also treat them with a protective coating. Regular maintenance every one to two years keeps mold from becoming a recurring problem.

We always try to repair only the damaged sections first to save you time and money. After a storm, we inspect the fence for broken rails, cracked pickets, or shifted posts. If the damage is isolated, we can usually remove just the affected pickets and rails and replace them with matching material. For vinyl fences, sometimes a single panel can be swapped out. If the post is broken or the ground has shifted, we will reset the post with concrete to ensure long-term stability. We only recommend a full replacement if the fence is structurally compromised across a large area. We carry the same style and color materials to ensure a seamless repair.
