Southern Maintenance & Repairs - Alexandria's Local Privacy Fence Installation
6810 Masonic Dr, Alexandria, LA 71301
About the Company
At Southern Maintenance & Repairs, we live by the motto: 'No more problems, only solutions!' Serving Alexandria and all of Cenla, we specialize in fence and gate installation, repair, painting, staining, and weatherproofing—plus automatic and manual gate systems. Alexandria’s humid subtropical climate and frequent storms can cause privacy fence blowouts, especially in neighborhoods like the Garden District or near Bayou Rapides. We reinforce fence posts with concrete and use wind-resistant fasteners to keep panels secure. For chain link fence corrosion, common around the industrial areas off MacArthur Drive, we recommend galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link and apply rust-inhibiting primers during repairs. Our team is based right in Alexandria, just minutes from the Alexandria Mall and the Kent Plantation House, so we can respond quickly to any fence or gate issue. We also handle electrical work, clean-ups, and general repairs. Every job starts with a 100% free estimate—just give us a call. Thanks for choosing SMR!

FAQs
How do you prevent privacy fence blowouts during Alexandria’s storms?
We address blowouts by setting posts deeper in concrete—at least 24 inches—and using heavy-duty brackets and screws instead of nails. For existing fences, we can add wind bracing or replace rotted sections with pressure-treated lumber. We’ve reinforced many fences in neighborhoods like the Garden District and near Cotile Lake to withstand strong gusts.
Can you repair a chain link fence that has rusted from humidity?
Yes. We cut out corroded sections, replace them with galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link, and apply a rust-inhibiting paint to the remaining frame. For posts that have rusted at the base, we install new galvanized posts set in concrete. This is a common fix for homes near the Red River or older properties on Jackson Street.
Do you install automatic gates for residential properties in Alexandria?
Absolutely. We install swing and slide automatic gates with keypads, remote controls, and safety sensors. We’ve completed installations for homes off Horseshoe Drive and near the Alexandria Zoo. Our work includes running underground wiring and ensuring the gate meets local setback requirements.
