Why Choose Fargo Fence Company for Aluminum Fence Maintenance

We specialize in aluminum — not wood, vinyl, or chain link as secondary offerings
We provide written condition reports after every visit
We use aluminum-specific cleaning products, not general pressure washing services
We schedule follow-up reminders so maintenance does not get skipped
We serve Fargo, West Fargo, and surrounding North Dakota communities with consistent response times
Residential Aluminum Fence Care vs. Commercial Aluminum Fence Maintenance
Residential and commercial aluminum fences face different stress levels. Knowing the difference affects how often maintenance is needed.
Factor | Residential | Commercial |
Traffic volume | Low | High |
Gate usage frequency | Occasional | Daily or constant |
Chemical exposure | Moderate (pool, lawn) | Higher (de-icers, machinery) |
Recommended maintenance frequency | Once per year | Twice per year minimum |
Inspection detail level | Standard | Extended hardware audit |
Commercial properties — including parks, stadiums, and industrial sites — should schedule maintenance every six months. Residential aluminum pool fencing and security fencing falls between the two categories and benefits from an inspection every 8–10 months.
Aluminum Fence vs. Vinyl Fence: Maintenance Differences That Matter
Both aluminum and vinyl fences are marketed as low-maintenance options. They are not maintenance-free, and their upkeep needs differ significantly.
Maintenance Factor | Aluminum Fence | Vinyl (PVC) Fence |
Cleaning method | Mild detergent, soft brush | Soap and water |
Scratch repair | Touch-up paint required | Cannot be spot-repaired |
UV degradation | Powder coat fades, repairable | Yellowing over time, harder to reverse |
Hardware maintenance | Hinges and latches need lubrication | Fewer hardware components |
Winter performance | Frost heave affects posts | More brittle in extreme cold |
Estimated lifespan with care | 30–50 years | 20–30 years |
Aluminum fence has a longer lifespan when properly maintained. Vinyl fencing requires less technical care but has fewer repair options when damage occurs.
Our Aluminum Fence Maintenance Process
Step-by-Step Routine Aluminum Fence Upkeep We Follow
Routine aluminum fence upkeep prevents small issues from becoming costly repairs. Our process covers every part of the fence system — panels, posts, gates, and hardware.
Here is what a standard maintenance visit includes:
- Full visual inspection of fence panels and posts
- Cleaning with a non-abrasive aluminum-safe solution
- Rinsing and drying to prevent water spots
- Checking gate alignment and hardware function
- Lubricating hinges and latch mechanisms
- Identifying rust spots, scratches, or coating damage
- Applying touch-up treatment where needed
- Documenting condition for future reference
A single visit typically takes 1–3 hours depending on fence length and condition.
Annual Aluminum Fence Inspection: What We Check
An annual inspection catches issues before they become visible problems. According to industry data, aluminum fences that receive annual professional inspections last 40–60% longer than those with no scheduled maintenance.
During inspection, we assess:
- Post stability — checking for ground shift or frost heave
- Panel integrity — looking for bends, cracks, or loose pickets
- Coating condition — identifying areas where powder coat is fading or chipping
- Gate operation — testing swing, latch, and hinge performance
- Hardware corrosion — checking bolts, screws, and brackets for early rust
- Drainage around posts — ensuring water is not pooling at the base
We document findings and provide a written condition report after every inspection.
Fargo's Trusted Aluminum Fence Maintenance Company
Why Aluminum Fence Care in Fargo, ND Requires Local Knowledge
Aluminum fence maintenance in Fargo is different from warmer or coastal regions. North Dakota’s climate creates a specific set of stress conditions that a non-local company may not anticipate.
Fargo sees average lows of -15°F in winter. The ground freezes deep — often 4 to 6 feet — causing frost heave that shifts fence posts. Spring thaw brings standing water and mud at post bases. Summer brings UV exposure that fades powder-coated finishes faster than expected.
Local knowledge means knowing when to schedule treatments, which products hold up in extreme cold, and how to set posts to account for ground movement.
Area-Specific Issues: Winter, Salt, and Hard Water Challenges in North Dakota
Three conditions cause the most aluminum fence damage in the Fargo area:
Road salt and de-icing chemicals — Properties near roads, driveways, or parking areas face salt spray every winter. Salt accelerates oxidation on aluminum and degrades powder coat over time. We apply a protective wax barrier before winter to reduce this damage.
Hard water staining — Fargo’s municipal water has moderate to high mineral content. Sprinkler systems leave calcium and magnesium deposits on fence surfaces. These white mineral stains are not permanent, but they require the right removal method. Acidic cleaners at the wrong dilution can strip powder coat.
Freeze-thaw cycles — Water enters small scratches or coating chips, freezes, and expands. This widens existing damage. Catching and sealing surface scratches before winter is a key part of our fall maintenance schedule.
