ProMark Fence: Experienced Fence Installation Serving Charlestown, RI 2813

The main cause is the constant exposure to high humidity, salt spray, and heavy rain common in our coastal area near Misquamicut Beach. This moisture seeps into untreated wood, leading to swelling, warping, and rot. ProMark Fence resolves this by using pressure-treated lumber and applying a professional-grade weatherproofing sealant that blocks moisture and resists salt damage. We also recommend annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become major repairs.

Look for peeling paint or stain, visible cracks or splits in the wood, loose or rusted hardware, and sections that feel spongy or soft to the touch. In Charlestown's humid climate, you might also notice green algae or mold growth on the surface. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call ProMark Fence. We can strip the old finish, repair damaged boards, and apply a fresh weatherproof coating to restore your fence and extend its life.

We start by thoroughly cleaning the fence to remove salt residue, dirt, and mildew. Next, we sand rough areas and apply a high-quality primer designed for exterior wood. For the topcoat, we use a durable, UV-resistant stain or paint that's formulated for coastal environments. This process, combined with our weatherproofing treatment, creates a barrier that protects against moisture, sun, and salt. We also recommend a maintenance schedule—typically every two to three years—to keep the finish looking fresh and protective.
