Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to rot in DeKalb, and how can Avila Fence fix it?
Rot is commonly caused by moisture against the wood, especially during DeKalb’s wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles. Avila Fence can assess the damage and replace rotted posts, set them with proper drainage, and apply weatherproofing treatments to prevent future decay.
My chain-link fence is starting to rust from road salt. What should I do?
Rust often appears near streets or walkways where salt is used in winter. Avila Fence can remove the rust, repaint or stain the affected sections, and apply a rust-inhibiting sealant. For badly rusted panels, they offer replacement and new installation options.
How do I know if my fence needs repair versus a full replacement?
If you see isolated rot, loose boards, or small rust spots, Avila Fence can usually repair and reinforce those sections. If more than 30% of the fence is damaged or the posts are leaning heavily, a full replacement may be more cost-effective. They’ll inspect your fence and give you a straightforward recommendation.
