Fence Builders Shreveport LA | Call Better Fence & Deck

Shreveport's high humidity and frequent rain cause wood to absorb moisture, leading to swelling and warping. Temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight also contribute to the drying and cracking of boards, especially in pine or cedar fences. Better Fence & Deck recommends using pressure-treated or moisture-resistant woods, plus proper sealing, to prevent warping.

Look for rotted or splintered boards, loose nails or screws, wobbly railings, and discoloration like gray or green patches (mold/mildew). If the deck feels bouncy or has soft spots, it's a sign of structural damage. In Shreveport, we often see these issues after heavy rains or floods. Our team can inspect and recommend repair or full replacement, ensuring safety and longevity.

Discoloration from sun and moisture can often be fixed with power washing and a fresh stain or sealant. For deep stains or mold, we use specialized cleaners. If boards are beyond saving, we replace them with matching, treated wood. Our process includes proper preparation and weather-appropriate products for Shreveport's conditions, restoring your fence or deck's original look.
