Martinez Fencing Company - Gary's Top-Rated Fence Contractors

Gary’s high humidity and frequent rain create the perfect environment for moisture to seep into untreated wood, causing rot and mold. Poor drainage around fence posts accelerates decay. Martinez Fencing recommends pressure-treated lumber or cedar, along with proper gravel backfill, to prevent rot. We also offer regular maintenance checks for homeowners in low-lying areas like the Miller neighborhood.

If you see widespread rust, bent tie wires, or loose posts after a storm, it may be time for a full replacement. Minor rust spots or a few damaged links can be repaired. Martinez Fencing inspects the entire fence line—especially near high-traffic areas like schools or parks in Gary—and gives honest advice. For fences more than 15 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective.

Yes, especially if you choose a style that appeals to local buyers, like vinyl or aluminum privacy fences. Martinez Fencing has installed gates and fences near landmarks like the Gary/Chicago International Airport and downtown, boosting curb appeal and security. A well-maintained fence can add 5–15% to resale value, depending on condition and material.
