Placeholder ImageChain-Link Fencing Maintenance Tips If you aren’t experienced with fence maintenance, here are tips to help your chain-link fencing remain durable.

Of all the different fences you could install around your property, chain-link fencing tends to be one of the more sturdy options. Even so, however, you still have to maintain your fence if you expect it to last over the years. If you aren’t experienced with fence maintenance, here are tips to help your chain-link fencing remain durable.

Finishes Can Help Combat Rust

Chain-link fencing is great because it is able to endure weather conditions more easily than other fences you could get. The problem is that rusting can become an issue over time, but you can address this problem with good coating. If you apply a rust-resistant finish to your chain-link fencing, it won’t be as susceptible to rusting, so you can enjoy your fence for much longer.

Washing Your Fence

It tends to not take too long before your chain-link fence starts gathering dirt and grass. To keep your fence clean, give it an occasional washing. Simply using some soapy water should be enough to help revitalize your fence and help it look like new.

See If Your Fence Has Any Loose Nails

Loose nails are a serious hazard for your fence, and if you don’t deal with them early on, your fence will suffer serious damage. Because of this, you should regularly check your fencing just to be sure that there aren’t any loose nails hanging along it. If you see any loose nails, you need to get them tightened so that they don’t pose a danger to you or your fence.

Oil The Hinges

Keep an eye on your fence hinges as well because they can develop rust over time. If you want to keep rust from developing on your chain-link fencing, you should oil the hinges regularly. If the hinges are allowed to grow rust, it becomes much more difficult for you to open and close your fence gate.

Maintenance Routine

Regular maintenance is needed for ensuring the longevity of your fence. Fortunately, problems won’t have a chance to grow too much as long as you’re checking on your fence often enough. Monthly maintenance checks should be sufficient. This way, you can handle problems while they are still relatively small, which makes fixing those problems far easier.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
