A.K. Custom Fence and Deck | Expert Fence Contractors in Sumner, WA

In Sumner, soil moisture can accelerate post decay, especially with older wood fences. We typically start by assessing the extent of the damage. For localized rot, we can replace individual posts using concrete footings that extend below the frost line to improve drainage and stability. If the decay is widespread, we recommend a full fence replacement using materials like vinyl, cedar with a proper sealant, or galvanized chainlink posts that resist moisture. Our team also applies weatherproofing treatments to extend the life of wood fences, and we always ensure proper drainage around post bases.

We build decks using cedar, pressure-treated lumber, PVC, and composite materials. During a free estimate, we discuss the homeowner’s budget, maintenance preferences, and the style of their home. For example, cedar offers a natural look but requires periodic sealing, while composite or PVC needs less upkeep and holds up well to rain. We also consider the deck’s intended use—whether it’s for hosting gatherings, a play area for kids, or simply a quiet outdoor spot. Our goal is to recommend a material that balances durability, appearance, and long-term value.
