Question Answers
How do you protect fences from storm damage in Kenner?
In Kenner, storm debris and high winds often cause fence panels to warp or break, and heavy rain leads to post erosion. We install fences with reinforced posts set in concrete deep below the frost line, use rust-resistant materials like galvanized steel, and apply weatherproof coatings. For existing fences, we offer inspections and repairs to tighten loose connections and replace damaged sections. Our automatic gates are also built with heavy-duty components to withstand storm conditions.
What types of fences can you install?
We install a variety of fence types, including wrought iron, aluminum, chain link, and wood. For gates, we handle manual swing gates, sliding gates, and automatic gate openers. Each installation is customized to your property's layout and your security or aesthetic needs. We also provide painting or staining to match your existing design.
Do you repair automatic gates?
Yes, we repair automatic gates of all brands, including operators, sensors, and control boards. Common issues in Kenner include motor burnout from frequent storm usage and corrosion from humidity. We quickly diagnose problems and replace parts as needed, ensuring your gate operates smoothly again.
