About The Fence Repair Guys of Glen Burnie
We have spent about five years fixing fences in Anne Arundel County, and the Glen Burnie shop is our second location. It exists to put a crew closer to north county, Baltimore County, Howard County and Baltimore City, with the same repair-first approach on wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link.
A Second Shop to Put a Crew Closer to the North Side
The company has been fixing fences across Anne Arundel County for about five years. Over that time more and more calls came from the north end of the county and from across the line: Glen Burnie and Pasadena, Linthicum and Brooklyn Park, then Baltimore City, Dundalk, Catonsville and the Howard County towns along the Patapsco.
Those calls looked different from the suburban work we started on. More chain link. More shared fences between rowhomes and duplexes. Older lots where three generations of owners had each patched the same line. Fences near the water or a salted highway with rust working on every steel part.
Opening a shop in Glen Burnie was the practical answer. It puts a crew and a stock of posts, rails, pickets and hardware inside the area those calls come from, so a return trip to set a gate after concrete cures or to stain a finished repair does not mean a long drive. The Glen Burnie location is new, but the people, methods and standards are the same ones the company has used for five years, now aimed at north county and Baltimore.
The Case for Fixing What Failed
Most fences that look ruined are not. A corner post rots at grade, the panels on each side tip with it, and from the kitchen window it looks like the whole line is going. Push on the other posts and they are usually solid. The boards often have years of service left in them.
Fixing the failed part keeps those good posts and boards working. It also keeps usable lumber, vinyl and steel out of the landfill, and it avoids digging a whole new row of holes in a yard that may have old footings, roots and buried lines everywhere.
Repair is not always the answer, and we will not stretch a fence past its life. When most posts move at the ground, when the pickets split as soon as a fastener goes in, or when chain link fabric is rusted through along the bottom, a patch only buys a season. At that point The Fence Repair Guys of Glen Burnie will lay out the replacement options in wood, vinyl, aluminum or chain link and explain what each one handles well on your lot.
Either way, the decision is yours, based on what we actually found when we pushed, probed and looked at the fence, and we show you the failed parts so you can see them for yourself.
How a Job Runs on Your Property
The first visit is an inspection of the full fence, not just the broken section. We test each post at ground level, check rails, brackets and fasteners, look for rust at the base of steel posts, and open and close every gate. On shared fences we note which posts carry a neighbor's panels.
If the plan involves digging, Miss Utility marks the public lines first, and we confirm permit, HOA and shared-fence requirements for the address before work starts. On rowhome lots we plan the carry route through the alley or side passage so materials move once. Plantings along the fence line get protected as far as the work allows.
New posts sit on a gravel base with concrete crowned above grade so rain sheds off. Wood repairs get exterior screws or galvanized fasteners that will not streak. On new runs, The Fence Repair Guys of Glen Burnie uses that same post detail from the first hole. When wood needs protection, The Fence Repair Guys of Glen Burnie comes after the boards have dried enough to absorb it.
When we leave, the old posts, broken boards, concrete chunks and loose nails leave with us.
