Professional Commercial Fencing in Lake Charles, LA 70601 - MH Paving and Fencing

The main cause is our humid, subtropical climate combined with direct sun exposure. Over time, moisture gets trapped under the stain, causing peeling, fading, and mildew growth. The solution is to thoroughly clean the fence with a mildewcide, sand down loose stain, and apply a high-quality, UV-resistant stain. Our team can do this as part of a complete fence restoration, matching the original color and adding a protective sealant to extend the life of your fence.

Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, gaps between the gate and the post, or visible rust or cracks in the hinge. If you hear a loud squeak or the gate feels loose when you close it, the hinge is likely failing. We can replace the broken hinge with a heavier-duty option (like a strap hinge or a self-closing hinge) and realign the gate post if needed. This is a quick fix that prevents further damage to the gate frame.

Absolutely. Many of our projects involve pouring concrete post footings to ensure the fence stays straight and stable in our soft, often wet soil. We also offer concrete curbing or a small retaining wall as a base for the fence, which helps prevent staining from mud splashes. For example, we recently completed a project near the Lake Charles Civic Center where we installed a concrete patio alongside a new privacy fence, creating a seamless outdoor space.
