A fence is more than just a boundary — it’s an investment in your home’s security, privacy, and appeal. At APG Fencing Contractor, we don’t just install fences — we help you protect them too. With proper maintenance, your fence can last for years while looking as good as new.

1. Regular Cleaning

Dust, debris, and mildew can accumulate over time. Cleaning your fence at least once every few months keeps it fresh.

• Wood Fence: Use mild soap and water; avoid high-pressure washing.

• Vinyl/PVC Fence: A quick spray with a hose is usually enough.

• Metal Fence: Wipe with a damp cloth and check for rust spots.

2. Inspection & Minor Repairs

Make it a habit to inspect your fence every season for signs of wear.

• Look for loose nails, cracks, rust, or leaning posts.

• Tighten or replace loose components immediately.

3. Preventive Treatments

Treating your fence with the right materials helps prevent damage.

• Wood: Use sealants or stains to protect against weather.

• Metal: Apply anti-rust coating annually.

• Vinyl: No treatment needed, just cleaning!

4. Landscaping Around the Fence

Uncontrolled plants can damage your fence over time.

• Trim shrubs and vines growing close to the fence.

• Avoid letting water pool near the base — it can weaken wood and cause rust in metal.

5. Seasonal Care

Different seasons bring different challenges.

• Rainy Season: Watch for waterlogging and mold.

• Summer: Check for cracking due to heat.

• Winter: Ensure snow or ice doesn’t build up around the base.

Conclusion
Proper care keeps your fence strong, attractive, and long-lasting. Whether it’s wood, vinyl, concrete, or metal, APG Fencing Contractor offers expert guidance on fence maintenance.
