Martinez Fencing - Corp Christi's Local Commercial Fencing

The combination of high humidity, salty sea air from the Gulf, and frequent summer heat accelerates oxidation on standard steel and iron hardware. Coastal homes near Padre Island or the bay are especially prone to rust. Using stainless steel or galvanized fasteners and applying a rust-inhibiting coating can significantly extend the life of your fence.

Look for boards that bow outward, twist, or develop gaps along the rails. Warping is often worse on west-facing sections that get direct afternoon sun. You might also notice splits or cracks due to rapid drying. If you see these signs in your Corpus Christi fence, it's time to consider replacing affected boards with heat-treated or moisture-resistant wood.

First, replace any corroded hinges or latches with marine-grade stainless steel hardware. If the gate frame itself is rusted, we can reinforce or replace it. For ongoing protection, we recommend annual rust treatment and repainting. Our team can adjust the gate alignment to prevent binding.
