Q&A
How do you handle fence staining deterioration and panel cracking, which are common issues in Santa Barbara?
In Santa Barbara, sun exposure and coastal moisture can cause fence staining to fade or peel and wood panels to crack. We address this by using high-quality, UV-resistant stains and sealants during installation or repainting. For existing cracking, we repair or replace damaged panels, then apply a weatherproofing treatment to prevent future issues. Our approach includes a thorough assessment of your fence’s exposure and recommending a maintenance schedule to extend its life.
What types of custom wood fencing and gates do you offer for homes near areas like the Mesa or downtown Santa Barbara?
We specialize in custom wood fencing, including privacy fences, picket fences, and horizontal slat designs, as well as pedestrian and driveway gates. For properties near the Mesa, we often recommend designs that withstand ocean breezes, like cedar or redwood with proper sealing. For homes near downtown or the Riviera, we create arbors and entryways that complement the architectural style, with options for manual or automatic gate openers.
Do you offer repair and staining services for older fences, and how does that align with your sustainability practices?
Yes, we provide comprehensive repair and staining services for existing fences. Our repair work focuses on replacing only damaged sections, and we reuse salvageable wood when possible. For staining, we strip old finishes and apply new, eco-friendly stains to protect the wood. This reduces waste and extends the fence’s lifespan, aligning with our reduce, reuse, and recycle philosophy. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep your fence looking its best.
