Meet the Team
Mendez Fence & Supply provides metal fabrication, fencing, and gate services to Naples and Collier County. Located near the intersection of Tamiami Trail and Immokalee Road, the shop is a short drive from North Naples and the Coastland Center mall. We frequently address salt air corrosion on aluminum and steel fences—a common problem in coastal neighborhoods like Pelican Bay and Old Naples. By using marine-grade materials and proper welding techniques, we extend the life of metal fences and gates, and repair worn latch mechanisms that fail due to rust and salt exposure. Whether you need a custom gate fabricated, a corroded section replaced, or a simple latch fixed, we offer straightforward solutions that hold up in South Florida’s climate.
Questions and Answers
What causes salt air corrosion on metal fences in Naples, and how can metal fabrication help?
Salt air from the Gulf and bay deposits microscopic salt particles on metal surfaces. Over time, moisture triggers oxidation that eats through paint and weakens the metal. Our metal fabrication services allow us to cut out corroded sections, weld in new marine-grade aluminum or galvanized steel, and apply a protective coating that resists further damage.
Why do gate latches fail so often in coastal Florida, and what can fix them?
High humidity and salt spray corrode the small springs, pins, and bolts inside standard gate latches. This causes sticking, misalignment, or complete failure. We fabricate custom stainless steel or brass latch assemblies that resist corrosion, and we adjust the gate frame to ensure proper alignment, so the latch engages smoothly every time.
How can I tell if my metal fence needs replacement or just repair through metal fabrication?
Look for deep pitting, flaking metal, or rust that has eaten all the way through a rail or picket. Surface rust or light scaling often can be ground down and reinforced with welded patches. If more than 20-30% of a section is compromised, replacement of that section may be more cost-effective. We inspect in person and give a straightforward recommendation based on what will last longest in Naples’ salt air.
