Questions and Answers
How can I prevent fence discoloration and gate sagging caused by Gretna's humidity?
Gretna's high humidity can cause wood fences to discolor or mildew and gates to sag over time. At Westside Fence, we recommend weatherproofing treatments—such as sealing or staining cedar wood—and using durable materials like aluminum or vinyl that resist moisture damage. For gate sagging, we reinforce hinges and posts during installation and offer manual or automatic gate repairs to realign and strengthen hardware. Our team can assess your specific fence and recommend the best solution for our local climate.
Do you offer custom gate fabrication and automatic gate installation for Gretna homes?
Yes, we provide on-site custom gate fabrication for both driveway and pedestrian gates, tailored to your property's dimensions and style. We also install automatic gates with reliable openers and safety features. Whether you need a sliding or swing gate, our team handles the full installation and setup. We serve Gretna neighborhoods near landmarks like the Gretna Heritage Festival grounds and the Huey P. Long Bridge.
Can you repair an old chain-link or wooden fence in Gretna, or should I replace it?
We repair both chain-link and wooden fences, addressing issues like broken links, rotted posts, or leaning sections. Our experienced staff evaluates the damage and advises whether repair is cost-effective or if replacement is better for long-term durability. For wooden fences affected by Louisiana's humidity, we often recommend weatherproofing after repairs. We serve all Gretna areas, including near the Gretna City Hall and the Alario Center.
