Questions and Answers

Why are my wooden fence posts rotting at the base, and what can be done to fix it?

A common cause of fence post rot in Morristown is moisture buildup from soil contact and poor drainage. Signs include soft, spongy wood near the ground and visible fungal growth. Our solution is to replace the rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber that resists decay, and we can also install gravel or concrete footings to improve drainage. For the rest of the fence, a professional pressure washing and sealing treatment can help prevent future rot.

After pressure washing my wood fence, the splinters are worse. Is that normal?

Yes, that can happen. Pressure washing can raise the grain and expose splinters, especially on older wood. This is a sign that the wood is weathered and needs sealing. Our solution involves a careful pressure wash with the correct nozzle and pressure to avoid damage, followed by a thorough sanding and application of a high-quality wood sealer or stain. This will smooth the surface, reduce splinters, and protect the fence from future damage.

My front gate is sagging and dragging on the ground. Can you repair it without replacing the whole fence?

Absolutely. This is a common issue in Morristown due to ground movement and hardware wear. The cause is often a sagging hinge or a weak corner joint. Our solution is to adjust the hinges, replace any corroded or loose hardware, and install an anti-sag gate kit to realign the gate and prevent future dragging. We can also reinforce the adjacent fence sections if needed to provide a stable anchor.
