Aluminum Fences
The Importance Of Timely Installation
In South Florida, a sturdy, high-quality fence can mean the difference between security and vulnerability. Our aluminum systems are engineered to provide maximum safety and aesthetic value while standing up to hurricane-force winds and salt-air environments.
Professional Structural Inspection
Our comprehensive 20-point inspection covers every component of your fence to ensure safety, durability, and local building code compliance.
Ensuring concrete footings and post bases remain secure against soil erosion.
Ensuring all connection points are tight and that pickets are secured against mechanical failure or rattling.
Verifying that self-closing hinges and latches are fully operational and meet local pool safety codes.
Structural Frame Reinforcement
We don’t just set posts; we engineer barriers. Our team ensures maximum wind load resistance through advanced reinforcement techniques.
- Internal Post Reinforcement
- Heavy-Duty Gate Hardware
- Wind-Load Rated Pickets
- Deep Concrete Footing Installation
Common Florida Fence Challenges
Salt Air Corrosion
Standard steel or iron fences will corrode rapidly in South Florida. Our marine-grade powder coating is designed to resist the harsh coastal environment without pitting or peeling.
Hurricane-Force Winds
Florida's high wind zones require fencing with proper wind-loading ratings. We install reinforced aluminum systems that maintain their structure during severe weather events.
UV Surface Degradation
The intense Florida sun can cause cheaper finishes to chalk or fade. We use premium architectural coatings that maintain their color and luster for decades.
Shifting Coastal Soil
Sandy Florida soil can lead to leaning fences. We use specialized footings and deep-set posts to ensure your fence remains level and plumb despite soil movement.
Expert Refinishing And Coating
1. Surface Preparation
Complete removal of oxidation and contaminants to ensure a perfect mechanical bond for the new coating.
2. Primer And Protection
Application of a specialized corrosion-resistant primer that seals the aluminum substrate.
3. Architectural Powder Coating
A high-performance finish that provides superior UV protection and impact resistance compared to standard paint.
Professional Maintenance Tips
Quarterly Rinse
Regularly hose down your fence with fresh water to remove corrosive salt deposits and debris.
Hardware Lubrication
Apply stainless-steel safe lubricant to gate hinges and latches every six months to prevent sticking.
Annual Inspection
A yearly professional check for footing stability and coating integrity extends the life of your investment.
Seamless Material Matching
We specialize in matching existing perimeter styles or coordinating your new aluminum fence with existing deck and pergola features. Whether it’s a specific powder-coat color or a custom picket spacing, we ensure a unified aesthetic across your outdoor space.
Should You Repair Or Replace?
A comprehensive guide to help you evaluate the best path forward for your investment.
Best To Repair If:
- Only minor gate hardware issues exist.
- The finish is fading but the metal is structurally sound.
- Damage is limited to 1-2 sections from a minor impact.
- The fence is less than 10 years old.
Replace If:
- Multiple posts have heaved or significant leaning occurs.
- Severe oxidation is present on welds and structural joints.
- Maintenance costs are becoming an annual burden.
- You want to upgrade to hurricane-rated specifications.
