Business Background
AAA Fences, owned and operated by John Hand, has been serving Decatur, AL since 2005. As a small, family-run business, John personally handles every project from the initial free estimate to the final walkthrough, ensuring consistent quality and a personal touch. We specialize in designing, building, repairing, and maintaining decks, fences, and gates—both manual and automatic. Our services include new installations, repairs, replacement, painting, staining, and weatherproofing. Over nearly two decades, we’ve weathered economic shifts like 2009 and the pandemic by focusing on honest work and word-of-mouth referrals. Recently expanding online, we now bring that same reliability to new neighbors across Decatur, from the historic districts near Old Decatur to the lakeside communities around Point Mallard Park. Whether your fence near the Tennessee River shows mold from the humidity, or your deck on a lot near Wilson Morgan Park needs replacement, John is the single point of contact from start to finish. We build structures that last, work around your schedule, and treat your property like our own.

Question Answers
How do you handle mold and mildew on fences in Decatur’s humid climate?
Mold and mildew are common here due to our humidity, especially near the river. We start by gently pressure-washing the fence, then apply a mold-killing solution and let it dwell. After rinsing, we seal the wood with a high-quality weatherproofing stain that inhibits future growth. For vinyl or metal fences, we use a specialized cleaner and a protective coating. This process not only restores the look but also extends the fence’s life, which is key for aging fences in neighborhoods like those off Danville Road.
Can you help with both fence repair and staining in a single visit?
Absolutely. Since John handles each job personally, he can assess your fence for loose boards, rot, or gate alignment issues, make the repairs, and then apply the paint or stain in the same appointment. This saves you time and ensures the new finish adheres properly. It’s a common request for homeowners in places like the Cherokee area who want their fence refreshed before summer.
What’s the process for installing an automatic gate on a property in Decatur?
First, I come out for a free estimate to discuss your needs and the gate’s location—whether it’s off Highway 31 or in a subdivision like Burningtree. I measure the opening, check power availability, and recommend a swing or slide gate based on your slope and space. Then I handle everything: trenching for conduit, mounting the gate, wiring the motor, and testing the safety sensors. I’ll walk you through operation and maintenance so it works reliably for years.
