Fence Washing in Uptown Charlotte, NC

Uptown Charlotte fence work is mostly not traditional fencing — it is rail systems. Townhome wrought iron stoop and stair rails, condo balcony rails, parking-deck guard rails, and rooftop terrace rails dominate the work. Every one of these assemblies sits in constant exposure to rain, exhaust film, and Piedmont humidity, which drives aggressive rust at welds, base plates, and anchor points. Access is the second challenge: balcony rails are often only reachable from inside the unit, and parking-deck rails sit feet from active traffic and storm drains.

We pre-rinse the rail and any planters, turf strips, or pedestrian surfaces below before applying detergent. Iron and steel rails receive a rust-conversion pass at any active corrosion, neutralized and sealed with an inhibitor — particularly at base plates where water pools. Aluminum rail systems stay under 1,200 PSI with a soft-wash detergent to protect the powder-coat. A full post-rinse keeps detergent out of storm grates and off the surfaces below, which is essential in a vertical environment where every drip ends up somewhere visible.
