Martin Electric Gate Service & Repairs - Riviera Beach's Local Fence Contractors

The humid, subtropical climate in Riviera Beach combined with shade from nearby palm trees and ficus hedges creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew. Leaves and moisture trapped against wood or vinyl fences speed up growth. Our solution includes a thorough cleaning with a mildewcide, followed by applying a weatherproofing sealant. For wooden fences, we also recommend a stain with UV and moisture protection. We treat fences near the Intracoastal Waterway just like those in inland neighborhoods—same attention to drainage and airflow.

Common signs include a gate that sags, drags on the ground, or makes a grinding noise when you open or close it. You may also see visible rust or cracks around the hinge plate. Yes, in most cases we can repair just the hinges. For manual gates, we replace worn or bent hinges with marine-grade stainless steel hardware that resists salt corrosion. For automatic gates, we check the motor alignment along with the hinge assembly. We handle this work in neighborhoods from the Marina District to west of I-95.

Absolutely. If we’re painting or staining your fence in Riviera Beach, we always start with a pressure wash and apply a mold and mildew remover. We let the fence dry completely over a full day (longer in humid weather) before applying the primer and paint or stain. For areas under shade by Australian pines or near the golf course, we recommend a stain with built-in mildew resistance. This way, your new finish stays clean longer and you avoid peeling or flaking caused by trapped moisture.
