Every family deserves to have privacy when at home. While privacy fences are perfect for keeping your family secluded, they can degrade over time. According to the American Fence Company in Campbell Hall, NY, regular fence maintenance can keep your fence looking — and functioning — great for years to come.

Serving families around the Hudson Valley for more than 30 years, family-owned and -operated American Fence Company takes pride in installing and repairing chain link, wood, aluminum, and vinyl fences and gates for their customers. Fully licensed and insured, their team has the experience and know-how to keep your fence in great shape no matter the damage.

Here are their top three tips for maintaining your privacy fence:

• Swap Out Broken Boards: Wood and vinyl fences can degrade after years of being subjected to the elements. Replace any broken or damaged fence boards with new material to keep your fence’s integrity intact.
• Reset Any Misplaced Boards Or Posts: Fence posts and boards can shift over time. If any posts have pulled away from the soil or fasteners have become unhinged, call a fence repair specialist to fix the problem before it worsens.
• Paint Or Stain It: Protective coatings can help your fence resist weathering and abuse from the wind, rain, and sunlight. If your fence has chipped paint or a faded stain, you should repaint or stain it to add years to its service life.

Privacy fences look great and provide a sense of security when at home. Keep your fences looking great by keeping up with regular maintenance. Call the fence experts at American Fence Company at (845) 427-5894 or visit them online to schedule an appointment today.
