Q&A

What causes a privacy fence to blow out in DeQuincy, and how does Amrine Construction prevent it?

Privacy fence blowouts in DeQuincy are usually caused by strong storm winds hitting a solid panel that acts like a sail, combined with posts that have weakened from moisture and rot over time. Amrine Construction solves this by using pressure-treated posts set deep in concrete with proper drainage gravel, and by installing panels with adequate spacing or wind-rated brackets. For new builds, we can recommend semi-private designs that reduce wind load while still providing the seclusion you want.

I see my fence posts are starting to lean or erode at the base. Is this a sign of a bigger problem?

Yes, leaning fence posts in DeQuincy are often a sign of post erosion or rot below ground level, which is common in our humid climate and sandy soils. If left unaddressed, this can lead to a complete fence collapse during the next heavy storm. Amrine Construction offers fence post replacement and resets, where we dig out the old post, replace the rotted section or the whole post, and re-set it in concrete with a gravel base for proper drainage. We also check adjacent posts to prevent the problem from spreading.

Can you repair a deck that has rotten boards near the house, or do I need a full deck replacement?

In many cases, we can repair a deck with localized rot rather than replacing the entire structure. At Amrine Construction, we assess the damage by checking the ledger board (where the deck attaches to the house), joists, and posts. If the rot is limited to a few deck boards or a single support beam, we'll replace only those components. However, if the damage has spread to the framing or the posts are compromised due to ground contact rot, a full deck replacement may be more cost-effective and safer in the long run. We'll provide an honest assessment and walk you through the options.
