Questions and Answers
What causes wooden fences in Minneapolis to rot and lean so quickly?
The main cause is our freeze-thaw cycles combined with heavy road salt spray. Moisture gets trapped in the wood, then expanding ice forces the grain apart. Over time, this leads to rot at the base and warped pickets. ACR Fences addresses this by treating wood with weatherproof sealants, setting posts on crushed stone for drainage, and using corrosion-resistant fasteners that won’t fail under stress.
How can I tell if my fence needs repair versus full replacement?
Look for widespread soft or crumbly wood, missing pickets, or a gate that won’t latch properly due to a drooping frame. If less than 25% of the fence is affected, we can typically do targeted fence and gate repair. If the rot extends to most posts or the entire fence leans, replacement is more cost-effective. Our team does a free on-site check to give you a straight answer.
Can you weatherproof an old fence, or is it better to start over with siding and stucco?
Yes, we can weatherproof an existing fence by cleaning, sanding, and applying a high-quality stain or sealer. However, if the fence has major structural damage, replacing it and then weatherproofing from day one is often a better long-term solution. For the house itself, we also install siding and stucco—both hold up well in Minneapolis if properly sealed. We’ll help you decide based on the condition of your wood and your budget.
