Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence posts to rot quickly in Manassas, and how can I prevent it?

In Manassas, high humidity, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw cycles cause wood to absorb moisture, leading to rot at the base. Poor drainage around the post hole accelerates the problem. A&H Contracting can replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or install gravel drainage at the base. We also apply a weatherproofing sealant to protect the wood from moisture and UV damage, extending the life of your fence.

My fence gate is sagging and won’t latch properly. What’s the likely cause and how can you fix it?

Sagging gates are often caused by loose hinges, a warped gate frame, or a settling post. Over time, the weight of the gate pulls on the hinges, especially in humid conditions. A&H Contracting can tighten or replace hinges, reinforce the frame, or adjust the post to level the gate. If the gate is beyond repair, we can build a custom replacement that fits your existing fence.

How do I keep my fence paint from peeling after just one season in Manassas?

Peeling paint usually happens when the fence wasn’t properly cleaned or primed before painting. Manassas’s sun and rain can break down low-quality paint quickly. A&H Contracting strips old paint, pressure-washes the surface, and applies a high-quality exterior primer and paint designed for outdoor wood. We also recommend staining instead of paint for a longer-lasting, low-maintenance finish that resists peeling.
