FAQs
What causes wooden fence posts to lean or rot in Columbus, IN, and how can Ace Exteriors fix it?
The main cause is moisture trapped at the base of posts, especially after heavy rains or snowmelt common in central Indiana. Over time, this leads to wood rot and loose footings. Ace Exteriors addresses this by replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated lumber, setting posts in concrete below the frost line, and sealing all cuts. We also recommend gravel backfill for better drainage near properties like those off Rocky Ford Road.
What are the signs that my deck needs replacement rather than just repair?
Look for widespread splintering, soft spots when you walk, or visible gaps between boards where water can pool. If more than 30% of the decking is compromised, replacement is often more cost-effective. Ace Exteriors evaluates the entire structure, including joists and ledger boards, and can install a new composite or treated-pine deck that matches your home’s style, whether you’re in the Harrison Lake area or closer to downtown.
How do you solve fence sagging caused by gate misalignment?
Sagging often results from loose hinges, warped gate frames, or posts that have shifted. Our carpenters first check that the gate post is plumb and set in a proper concrete base. We then reinforce the frame with diagonal bracing and adjust or replace hardware. For Columbus homeowners near the Mill Race Park, we also install self-closing hinges and latches to ensure long-term alignment and security.
