McKay’s Maintenance and More: Best Commercial Fencing Serving St. Augustine, FL 32084

The primary cause is the intense UV exposure Florida gets year-round, which fades wood and vinyl fences, leaving them looking gray or chalky. Salt air near the coast can also accelerate fading. The solution we offer is professional fence painting or staining. We use high-quality, UV-resistant stains and paints to restore color and add a protective layer. For vinyl, we can pressure wash and apply a specialized coating. Our weatherproofing service also helps prevent future damage from sun and rain.

Common signs include the gate opening or closing slowly, making unusual grinding sounds, stopping mid-cycle, or the remote failing to work. These often point to a worn motor, misaligned track, or sensor issues. Yes, we can diagnose and repair most automatic gates, including fixing hinges, replacing motors, and programming remotes. We also offer manual gate repair and installation if you prefer a simpler, low-maintenance setup.

Absolutely. A broken hinge is a common issue, especially on heavy gates where the wood may warp or the hardware corrodes in our humid climate. The solution is straightforward: we’ll inspect the post and hinges, replace any broken parts with heavy-duty, rust-resistant hardware, and check the gate’s alignment. If the post itself is rotted, we can reinforce or replace it as part of our fence repair service. We also offer manual gate installation if you’re looking to upgrade to a new, sturdy gate system.
