Let Handy Helpers Handle Your Fence Maintenance.

Your fence is more than just a boundary; it’s essential to your property’s appeal and security. However, keeping it in top condition requires regular maintenance. Neglecting your fence can lead to costly repairs or premature replacement. This guide will provide valuable tips for maintaining your fence, ensuring it remains beautiful and functional, saving you money.

  1. Inspection is Key: Regularly inspecting your fence helps identify issues early on. Look out for signs of damage like rotting wood, loose boards, rust, or leaning posts. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and save you money in the long run. Call us for a free inspection today. 
  2. Cleaning and Washing: Dirt, mold, and grime can accumulate on your fence over time, particularly in damp or shaded areas. Handy Helpers offers a Low-Pressure washing Mildewcide and cleaning service to help you regularly clean your fence to remove debris and mildew. 
  3. Prompt Repairs: If you notice any damage during inspections, such as loose boards or cracked panels, address them promptly. Handy Helpers can replace rotted or damaged wood, tighten loose screws or nails, and repaint or reseal as necessary to prevent further deterioration.
  4. Wood Protection: Wood fences are vulnerable to rot, insects, and moisture. Handy Helpers Waterproofing service can apply a sealant or stain every few years to help repel water and UV rays. We can also provide services to trim vegetation around the fence to prevent moisture buildup and deter pests.
  5. Metal Maintenance: Metal fences, while durable, can still rust or corrode, especially in humid environments like North Carolina. Inspect for signs of rust and treat affected areas with a rust-resistant primer and paint. Lubricate hinges and locks regularly to ensure smooth operation.
  6. Gate Hardware Care: Gate hardware should be inspected regularly to ensure smooth operation. Handy Helpers can replace your worn or damaged hardware to prevent issues with opening and closing your gate.
  7. Weather Protection: Extreme weather conditions can damage your fence. Handy Helpers offers a Waterproofing service that provides a protective finish or coating that shields your fence from the elements.
  8. Vegetation Management: Overhanging branches and encroaching vegetation can damage your fence over time. Handy Helpers can trim trees, shrubs, and vines to prevent scratches, dents, or structural damage.
  9. Professional Assistance: Some maintenance tasks require professional help. Some just take too much of your precious time off. We are here to do the jobs you don’t want to or don’t have time to do. Contact Handy Helpers and clear your weekend for family and leisure.
