Fencing Company Holly Ridge NC | Call Assurance Fence Company

The main cause is the combination of high humidity, salt spray from the nearby coast, and heavy rain. These conditions trap moisture in the wood, leading to rot and mold. Assurance Fence Company solves this by applying high-quality weatherproofing sealants and stains during installation or as a repair service. We also recommend annual inspections and touch-ups to keep the protective barrier intact.

Common signs include leaning posts, loose or missing boards, rusted hinges or latches, and splintered wood. After a storm, check for water pooling at the base of posts, which can weaken the foundation. Assurance Fence offers comprehensive fence repair services—we can reset posts, replace damaged sections, and reinforce gates to restore security and curb appeal.

Salt air accelerates rust on metal gates. Our solution includes using galvanized or powder-coated materials, applying rust-inhibiting primers, and regularly painting or staining the gate. We also install drainage solutions to prevent water from sitting on metal components. If your gate already shows rust, our repair service can sand, treat, and repaint it to stop further damage.
