All Type Fence & Deck - Columbia's Local Fence Builders

In Columbia's humid climate, look for rotting boards near the ground, loose or rusted nails, splintering wood, and wobbly railings. If you see mushrooms or mold growing on the deck surface, moisture has already penetrated the wood. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch or boards that feel spongy when you walk are clear signs that repair or replacement is needed. All Type Fence & Deck can inspect your deck and recommend the best solution to keep your outdoor space safe.

Yes. Water damage is the most common issue we see in Columbia due to frequent thunderstorms and high humidity. Our team can replace rotted planks, reinforce the substructure, and apply a waterproof sealant. If the damage is extensive, we also offer full deck replacement using composite materials that resist moisture and mold. We'll help you choose the right option based on the condition of your deck and your budget.

For Columbia's hot, humid summers and occasional freezing winters, we recommend pressure-treated pine for budget-friendly durability or composite decking for low maintenance. Composite boards don't warp or rot and require no staining, making them ideal for homeowners near the Saluda River or downtown who want a long-lasting deck. We install both options and can show you samples at your home in Forest Acres or the Shandon neighborhood.
