Frequently Asked Questions
What fencing materials do you offer, and which is best for privacy in Ames?
We offer ornamental steel, chain link, vinyl, and wood fencing. For maximum privacy in Ames, wood and vinyl are popular choices because they create solid barriers. Wood provides a classic look but requires regular staining or weatherproofing, especially given Ames's seasonal weather. Vinyl is low-maintenance and resists moisture and wind damage well. We recommend discussing your specific needs during a free estimate.
How do you help Ames homeowners deal with fence damage from harsh weather?
Ames experiences strong winds, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles that can warp or rust fences. Our weatherproofing services include applying protective coatings to wood and metal, and we use durable materials designed to withstand local conditions. For repairs, we assess damage quickly and reinforce posts to prevent future issues. We also offer seasonal maintenance tips tailored to Ames's climate.
Do you offer automatic gate installation, and can it integrate with existing security systems?
Yes, we install and repair automatic gates for both residential and commercial properties. We can integrate them with most security systems, including keypads, intercoms, and remote controls. Whether you need a sliding or swing gate, we'll ensure it operates smoothly and enhances security. We serve areas near Iowa State University and throughout Ames.
