Common Questions
What causes wood fences to rot in Orange, NJ?
Wood rot in Orange is primarily caused by moisture from our humid climate, rain, and snow, combined with lack of proper sealing. Termites are also common here and can accelerate damage. A Essex Fence uses pressure-treated lumber and weatherproof finishes to resist rot, and we recommend annual inspections to catch early signs.
How can I tell if my fence needs professional repair?
Look for signs like leaning posts, rotting or splintered wood, loose boards, rust on metal parts, or gates that stick. If you see mushrooms or soft spots near the ground, termites or decay may be present. Call A Essex Fence for a free assessment—we'll check every post and panel for safety and longevity.
Does A Essex Fence offer solutions for termite-damaged fences?
Yes, we do. For termite damage, we remove affected sections, treat the soil and wood with termiticide, and replace damaged parts with termite-resistant materials like cedar or vinyl. We also advise on preventive measures, such as keeping soil away from wood and using gravel barriers. Our goal is to restore your fence's strength and protect your home.
