American General - Woodburn's Experienced Fencing Company

Many older decks in Woodburn experience rot from the wet climate. American General starts with a thorough inspection to identify damaged joists, posts, and decking. For repair, they replace only the affected boards and reinforce supporting structures with pressure-treated lumber. If the damage is widespread, they recommend a full deck replacement using composite or cedar materials that resist moisture better than standard wood. They also add proper flashing and ensure the deck slopes away from the house to prevent future pooling.

For Woodburn's mix of rain and sun, we often suggest cedar or composite decking. Cedar naturally resists insect damage and rot when properly sealed, making it a popular choice. Composite materials, like Trex or TimberTech, require less maintenance and won't splinter or warp over time. During your free consultation, we'll walk through your budget and property's sun exposure to choose a material that will stay looking good for years.

Absolutely. Many Woodburn homeowners want a complete outdoor space. We can coordinate adding a pressure-treated or cedar deck alongside new vinyl fencing for privacy or a retractable awning for shade. Since we handle fences, gates, decks, and patios, we can design them all to flow together. This saves you time on logistics and ensures everything is built to match your home's style.
