Fence Maintenance & Upkeep

Protect Your Investment. Preserve Your Curb Appeal.

Your fence is more than just a boundary — it’s an investment in your home’s privacy, security, and appearance. Regular maintenance keeps it looking beautiful, extends its life, and saves you money on costly repairs down the road.

Why Fence Maintenance Matters

A well-cared-for fence offers long-term value and peace of mind. Here’s why upkeep is so important:

•  Longevity – Routine care helps your fence withstand Oklahoma’s strong winds, intense sun, and heavy rain.
•  Curb Appeal – A clean, maintained fence boosts your property’s appearance and resale value.
•  Cost Savings – Catching small issues early prevents expensive replacements later.
•  Safety & Security – Keeps your fence sturdy for pets, kids, and property protection.
•  Warranty Protection – Some fencing materials require maintenance to stay under warranty coverage.

Wood Fence Maintenance

Wood fences bring natural beauty and warmth to your property — but they need periodic care to stay strong and attractive.

How to Maintain a Wood Fence:

• Clean Once a Year: Use mild soap and a low-pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, and algae.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for loose boards, nails, or rot — especially near the ground.
• Seal or Stain Every 2–3 Years: Use a quality UV-resistant sealant or stain to protect against sun and moisture.
• Trim Vegetation: Keep bushes and vines off the fence to prevent trapped moisture and decay.
• Adjust Sprinklers: Redirect sprinklers away from the fence line to avoid unnecessary water exposure.

Ornamental Iron & Aluminum Fence Maintenance

Ornamental fencing adds elegance and durability, but even metal fences need a little care to maintain their shine.

How to Maintain an Ornamental Fence:

• Clean Twice a Year: Rinse with water and wash with mild soap to remove dirt or dust.
• Inspect for Rust or Paint Chips: Touch up small areas with rust-inhibiting primer and paint.
• Lubricate Hinges and Latches: Use a silicone-based spray to prevent squeaks and corrosion.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stick to gentle cleaners to protect your fence’s finish.

With light maintenance, your ornamental fence can look new for decades.

Vinyl Fence Maintenance

Vinyl fences are known for being low-maintenance and long-lasting, but they still benefit from occasional cleaning.

How to Maintain a Vinyl Fence:

• Wash as Needed: Use a garden hose or soft brush with mild soap to clean away dirt or mildew.
• Check Posts & Panels: Ensure all connections are tight and the fence remains level.
• Avoid Abrasives: Skip bleach or harsh cleaners that could dull the finish.
• Keep Grass Trimmed: Prevent discoloration by keeping weeds and grass from touching the base.

Vinyl fencing keeps its bright, fresh look for years with minimal effort.
