Wood, Aluminum, Steel, and Composite Options at Camden Fence Repair & Services

Choosing the Right Material

Selecting the ideal fencing material is crucial for durability, aesthetics, and functionality. We offer a range of options to suit various needs and preferences.

Aluminum or Steel Fence Options

Aluminum and steel fences provide excellent security and longevity. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance. It's ideal for residential properties and comes in various styles.

Steel fences offer superior strength and are perfect for high-security areas. We provide galvanized and powder-coated steel options to enhance corrosion resistance. Both materials withstand harsh weather conditions and are available in multiple designs.

Our aluminum and steel fences are UV-resistant, preventing fading in sunny areas. They also offer better wind resistance compared to wood, making them suitable for areas prone to strong winds.

The Beauty of Wood Fencing

Wood fencing adds a natural, classic look to any property. We offer different wood types to suit various aesthetics and budgets. Pine and cedar are popular choices for their affordability and natural resistance to decay.

Wood fences can be stained or painted to match your home's exterior. They're easily customizable and can be crafted into various styles, from picket fences to privacy panels.

While wood requires more maintenance than metal options, regular sealing and staining can extend its lifespan significantly. In humid regions, we recommend treating wood fences to prevent rot and decay.

Fence Design and Aesthetics

At Camden Fence Repair & Services, we believe your fence should enhance your property's beauty while providing functionality. Our design approach balances visual appeal with practical considerations to create fences that complement your home.

Customizing for Curb Appeal

We offer a variety of ways to boost your fence's curb appeal. Custom post caps add a distinctive touch, available in styles from simple to ornate. Decorative panels or lattice work can break up the monotony of a solid fence while maintaining privacy. For wood fences, we can apply stains or paints to match your home's color scheme.

Our aluminum and steel options come in multiple colors and finishes to suit your taste. Composite fencing provides the look of wood without the maintenance, offering long-lasting beauty. We can mix materials like wood and metal for a unique aesthetic that stands out.

Coordinating with Home Architecture

We tailor fence designs to complement your home's architectural style. For traditional homes, classic wooden picket fences or ornamental aluminum create a timeless look. Modern houses pair well with sleek horizontal board fences or minimalist steel designs.

Fence height is a key consideration - we balance privacy needs with local regulations and visual harmony. Our team can create custom gates that match your fence style while providing secure entry points. We also consider your landscaping, ensuring the fence integrates seamlessly with existing gardens and hardscaping elements.

By carefully selecting materials and designs, we create fences that look like natural extensions of your property. Our goal is to enhance your home's overall aesthetic while meeting your practical fencing needs.

Installation Process

Our installation process ensures a sturdy, long-lasting fence for your property. We follow industry best practices and local regulations to deliver quality results.

Preparing for Installation

We begin by marking the fence line and locating underground utilities. Our team checks local zoning laws and obtains necessary permits. We clear the area of obstacles and vegetation that might interfere with the fence.

For chain link fencing, we measure and cut the fabric to size. With vinyl fence installations, we unpack and inspect all components. For wood fences, we treat the posts to prevent rot.

We gather all required tools and materials on-site before starting. This includes post hole diggers, levels, concrete, and fasteners.
Setting the Posts

We dig holes for the fence posts, typically 1/3 the post height plus 6 inches for gravel. The holes are usually 8-12 inches in diameter. We add gravel for drainage.

We set corner and end posts first, ensuring they're plumb using a level. For chain link fences, we install tension bands and caps on the posts before setting them.

We mix and pour concrete around each post, sloping it away from the post for water runoff. We let the concrete set for 24-48 hours before continuing.

Securing the Panels

Once posts are set, we install the fence panels or sections. For vinyl fences, we slide the panels into place between posts. With wood fences, we attach rails to the posts and then secure pickets to the rails.

For chain link fencing, we attach the top rail and then hang the chain link fabric. We secure it using tension bars and bands.

We ensure each panel is level and properly aligned with adjacent sections. We double-check all fasteners and connections for security.

Finally, we install any gates, making sure they swing freely and latch properly. We clean up the work site, leaving your new fence ready to enjoy.
