A Guide to Fence Restoration

Fence restoration can sound like a big project. And it can be hard to know when to invest in a fence restoration project or just complete a thorough cleaning.

The pressure washing experts at Mike's Home Wash LLC are here to explain when it's time to invest in professional fence restoration and how you can go about ensuring you're getting the best bang for your buck.

Fence Repairs

Depending on the materials that make up your fence, your fence's expected lifespan can be anywhere between 20 and 50 years. Over time, your fence will require repairs. How do you know which repairs to engage in and which would be easier to fix with a fence restoration project?

Well, that's where we come in. If you have a wood fence around your yard, you'll notice that the elements will wear your wood extensively. Insects, moisture, sun exposure, and more can lead to your wooden fence starting to break down.

The best thing about a wood fence is that repairs can be made with wood filler or putty. If there's more extreme damage, you can replace just the affected boards or rails. The downside is that it can be very easy to tell which wood boards have been repaired because they aren't weathered the same as the other boards.

Unlike wood fences, vinyl fences hold up well to the elements. If your vinyl fence is exposed to heavy winter snows or gets bit by a vehicle, large debris, or equipment, your vinyl can start to crack. Sometimes, you can just replace the individual vinyl picket, but you might have to replace an entire section of your fence.

Aluminum fencing has more issues with loosening. If the soil shifts, you'll find that your aluminum fence isn't as sturdy. This can be fixed with some backfill. However, you'll need to be careful to get the same color aluminum braces if you decide a t-brace would be better.

Fence Restoration

Your other option is professional fence restoration. Fence restoration is when your fence needs a major overhaul. Most of the time, experts recommend fence restoration when you're having to work on more than 20% of your fence panels or pickets.
