Leo's Welding Iron Works: Expert Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Long Beach, CA 90813

The coastal air and sun exposure in Long Beach often cause fence stain to peel, fade, or crack within a year or two. This is a common issue, especially near the ocean or in areas like Naples. Our solution involves stripping the old stain, sanding the wood, and applying a high-quality, UV-resistant stain. We also offer weatherproofing services to extend the life of your fence. If the damage is extensive, we can repair or replace affected sections before refinishing.

Gate lock failures in Long Beach are often due to rust from salt air, misalignment from gate sagging, or worn-out internal components. Before assuming you need a new lock, we inspect the entire gate mechanism. Sometimes it's a simple adjustment of the hinges or replacing a corroded latch. If the lock itself is damaged, we can install a new, weather-resistant lock that matches your gate. We also reinforce the gate frame if needed to prevent future issues.

If your fence has isolated issues—like a few broken pickets, a sagging section, or localized rot—repair is often the best option. We can replace individual boards, realign posts, and reinforce weak spots. However, if more than 30% of the fence is damaged, rotted, or leaning, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run. We'll give you an honest assessment and a free estimate, whether you're in Bixby Knolls or any other Long Beach neighborhood.
