Beaver Built Fences - Lafayette's Best Residential Fencing

In Lafayette, the main causes are clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with moisture, plus freeze-thaw cycles in winter. This can shift posts over time. Poor drainage around the post base also leads to rot. Beaver Built Fences addresses this by using proper post setting techniques, including gravel bases and pressure-treated lumber, and offers fence repair and replacement to fix leaning or rotted posts.

Signs include loose or wobbly railings, cracked or splintered boards, visible rot, or nails popping up. If the deck frame is unstable or the wood is soft in multiple spots, replacement might be more cost-effective. For minor issues like a few bad boards or loose fasteners, repair works well. Beaver Built Fences can inspect your deck, recommend the best solution, and handle both deck repair and full deck replacement in Lafayette.

Beaver Built Fences can adjust or replace hinges, reset the post, or install a new gate if needed. We also offer automatic gate installation and repair for convenience and security.
