Expert Fence Contractors in Norfolk, VA 23503 - Progressive Fences

Look for warped or splintered wood, rusted metal components, leaning posts, and peeling paint. In Norfolk’s humid, salty air, rot and corrosion develop quickly. If you notice loose boards or gates that sag, it’s time for professional repair.

We recommend pressure-treated wood or vinyl/vinyl-coated metal for new fences. For existing fences, annual sealing with a UV-resistant stain, applying rust-inhibiting primer on metal parts, and ensuring proper drainage around post bases help prevent rot and rust.

If less than 30% of the fence is affected—like a few rotted boards or a single sagging gate—repair is cost-effective. But if multiple posts are unstable, the foundation is shifting, or rot is widespread, full replacement ensures long-term stability and curb appeal. We assess each case on site.
