Montero Fence & Landscaping | Best Residential Fencing in Lynn, MA

Coastal salt air and high humidity accelerate wood rot, especially at ground level where moisture collects. In Lynn, near the ocean, wooden fence posts often rot from the bottom up due to constant exposure. Concrete or steel posts are more resistant, but periodic sealing with marine-grade weatherproofing can extend the life of wood fences significantly.

Look for orange or reddish discoloration on metal fences, especially near welds or joints. In Lynn, fences close to the beach may develop surface rust within a few years. If left untreated, rust can compromise structural integrity. If you see flaking or pitting, it's time for repair or replacement. Our team can assess the damage and recommend sanding, painting, or galvanized replacements.

For wood fences, apply a high-quality stain or sealant with UV protection and water repellent. For metal gates, use a rust-inhibiting primer and outdoor paint. We also offer weatherproofing services that include pressure washing, sanding, and applying protective coatings. Automatic gates benefit from silicone lubrication on tracks and seals. Regular maintenance every 1-2 years helps prevent damage from salt and storms.
