FAQs
What types of fencing materials do you recommend for Pittsburgh’s changing weather?
Given Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycles and high humidity, we often recommend treated wood, vinyl, or aluminum for durability. Treated wood should be sealed to prevent rot. For automatic gates, steel or aluminum with a powder-coated finish holds up well against rust. We also provide weatherproofing and staining services to extend the life of your fence, no matter the material.
Can you help if my fence has damage from ice or heavy snow?
Yes. Ice and snow can warp wood, bend metal panels, or harm gate mechanisms. We repair or replace damaged sections and reinforce posts to handle winter load. For automatic gates, we check sensors and motors that may fail in extreme cold. We also offer weatherproofing to prevent future damage.
Do you handle both manual and automatic gate installation for homes in Pittsburgh?
Absolutely. We install both manual and automatic gates for residential properties. For automatic gates, we work with swing and sliding models, including keypad and remote entry. We also repair existing automatic gate motors and sensors. Whether near the Strip District or Mount Washington, we can design a gate that fits your property.
