Property Rescue: Experienced Residential Fencing Serving North Fort Myers, FL 33917

The high humidity and salt-laden breezes near the coast accelerate oxidation on metal fences, especially chain link and wrought iron. This corrosion begins as surface rust but can weaken structural joints over time. Property Rescue addresses this by grinding away rust, applying rust-inhibiting primers, and coating your fence with a marine-grade paint designed for Florida’s coastal climate. We also replace any severely corroded sections with galvanized or powder-coated materials that resist future damage.

Yes, broken gate hinges are one of the most common fencing issues in our area. The constant salt air and humidity cause hinges to rust and seize, while heavy winds common in North Fort Myers put extra strain on the hardware. Our solution involves replacing standard hinges with heavy-duty, stainless steel or galvanized hinges that withstand corrosion. We also realign the gate post and check the latch mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent future breakage.

Absolutely. A high-quality exterior paint acts as a barrier against moisture and salt. Property Rescue applies 100% acrylic or marine-grade enamel paints specifically formulated for coastal environments. We first power wash the fence, scrape any loose paint, and prime bare metal or wood. For metal fences, we use a rust-inhibitive primer before the topcoat. This process seals out salt air and extends the life of your fence by years. We also offer matching colors to keep your property looking cohesive.
