A & S Concrete & Fence: Expert Fence Builders Serving Tuscaloosa, AL 35401

Repeated gate latch failure is often a sign of wood swelling from humidity or a misaligned gate. At A & S Concrete & Fence, we assess the gate's alignment, tighten hardware, and install heavy-duty, weather-resistant latches designed for Tuscaloosa's climate. If the wood is warped, we can reinforce or replace door frames. Our goal is a latch that opens smoothly and stays strong through rainy seasons.

Mold and mildew are common in Tuscaloosa due to damp, humid conditions, but they can lead to rot if left untreated. We inspect for underlying rot and treat fences with a biodegradable cleaner to kill growth. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality weather-proofing sealant that resists future mildew. If the fence has rotted sections, we can repair or replace those boards before sealing.

Wood fences near water bodies like the Black Warrior River get more moisture, causing splitting and warping. A & S Concrete & Fence recommends annual weatherproofing with a penetrating oil or water-repellent stain. If your fence is already damaged, we'll replace warped panels and re-secure them with rust-resistant nails and screws. For new builds near water, we suggest pressure-treated or cedar wood that naturally resists moisture.
