Thorough cleaning to remove loose dirt, grime, mildew, and some loose rust. Essential first step for proper adhesion of treatments and paint. Price varies based on the level of buildup and fence accessibility.

Per Linear Foot:$2.00 - $6.00 Mechanical removal of rust, flaky paint, and surface imperfections. This could involve wire brushing, power sanding, or even light sandblasting for heavily corroded areas. More extensive rust or old paint requires higher costs.

Per Linear Foot:$1.50 - $4.00 Application of a specialized chemical solution that neutralizes existing rust and converts it into a stable, paintable surface (rust converter) or creates a barrier against future rust (rust inhibitor/primer). Crucial for long-term paint adhesion and preventing rust creep. The type of product and number of applications will influence cost.

Per Linear Foot:$3.50 - $9.00 Application of a high-quality metal primer (often rust-inhibiting) followed by two coats of durable exterior metal paint. Price varies based on the type of paint (e.g., standard enamel, industrial-grade, specific color matching), application method (brush/roller vs. spray), and fence height/complexity.
