Common Questions
What are the most common fence problems in Wake Forest, and how do you fix them?
In Wake Forest, humidity and heavy rains often cause wood fences to rot, warp, or develop mold. Storms can also loosen posts or damage gates. We address these by using pressure-treated or composite materials, applying weatherproof sealants, and reinforcing posts with concrete. For existing fences, we repair or replace damaged sections, re-stain or paint to protect against moisture, and adjust gates to ensure they close properly year-round.
Can you resurface an old deck instead of replacing it?
Yes, we offer deck resurfacing as a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. If your deck’s structure is still sound but the surface boards are worn, splintered, or faded, we can install new composite or wood decking over the existing frame. This gives you a fresh look and better durability without the expense of a complete rebuild. We also check the underlying joists and railings to ensure safety.
What materials do you recommend for a low-maintenance deck or fence?
For homeowners who want minimal upkeep, we often recommend composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) and aluminum railings. These materials resist rot, insects, and fading, and they don’t require staining or sealing. For fences, vinyl or metal options are also low-maintenance. We can help you choose based on your style, budget, and the local climate in Wake Forest.
