Wood and Vinyl Fencing Longmont CO | Call Uribe Renovations Landscaping

Longmont's climate includes heavy snow, spring thaws, and intense UV exposure, which can cause moisture to seep into untreated wood. Over time, this leads to rot at the base of fence posts. We recommend using pressure-treated wood or cedar, installing gravel at the base for drainage, and applying a quality sealer. Our team can inspect existing posts and replace rotted ones, then weatherproof the entire fence to prevent future damage.

The key is to keep moisture out. After installing a fence, we apply a waterproof stain or sealant that bonds with the wood. In winter, avoid piling snow against the fence and gently remove ice buildup without using metal tools that could scratch the finish. If you have an automatic gate, ensure the sensors and hinges are protected from ice buildup. We offer weatherproofing services tailored to Colorado's conditions.

For Longmont's climate, we recommend staining every 2-3 years. The high altitude sun can fade and dry out wood, while snow and rain accelerate wear. If you notice the wood looking gray or water no longer beads on the surface, it's time for a fresh coat. Our fence staining service includes cleaning, sanding, and applying a UV-resistant stain to keep your fence looking great and protected longer.
