The most common sign is soft, spongy wood near the base of your posts or where the wood touches the ground. This is often caused by moisture from our humid summers and snowmelt in winter. The solution depends on the extent of the damage. For localized rot, we can cut out the affected section and splice in new, pressure-treated wood. For severe cases, we recommend replacing the damaged post entirely. We always apply a weatherproofing sealant afterward to prevent future issues.

Warping typically occurs due to fluctuating humidity and improper drainage around the posts—two things common in Tecumseh. Once a board warps, it’s difficult to truly reverse. The most effective solution is to replace the warped boards with kiln-dried wood that has been properly seasoned and sealed. We also check the post footings to ensure water isn’t pooling at the base, which helps prevent warping in adjacent boards.

Yes, in most cases we can repair a sagging gate without replacing it. The issue is often caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted. We’ll tighten or replace the hardware, install stronger hinges if needed, and very often add a corner brace to square the frame back up. We also reset fence posts that have become loose. If the wood itself is rotted through, a full replacement may be necessary, but we’ll always try the repair first.
