Workman Electric Gate & Installation - Burnsville's Best Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Burnsville’s wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles cause moisture to seep into untreated wood, leading to rot at ground level. Our solution includes replacing affected posts with pressure-treated lumber, applying a high-quality wood preservative, and ensuring proper drainage around the post base. We also offer weatherproofing services to seal the entire fence, extending its life significantly.

Snow and ice accumulation often block the gate’s path or freeze the tracks, while cold temperatures can weaken the motor or battery. We diagnose the issue by checking the control board, sensors, and mechanical parts. Repairs may involve clearing ice, lubricating moving components, replacing a worn motor, or upgrading to a cold-weather-rated system. We also recommend regular winter maintenance to prevent future problems.

Road salt used in winter can accelerate rust on metal gates, especially in neighborhoods near major routes like I-35W. The solution is to apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a durable, weather-resistant paint or powder coating. We also offer periodic inspections and touch-ups to catch early corrosion. If rust has already formed, we grind it down, treat the area, and repaint to restore protection.
