Questions and Answers
How do you handle termite damage to wooden fences in Guyton?
Termite damage is a common issue for wooden fences in our area. At Bonafide Decks and Fence, we first inspect the entire fence to assess the extent of the damage. For sections that are structurally compromised, we recommend replacing the affected posts and panels with pressure-treated lumber or a termite-resistant alternative. We also treat the surrounding soil and wood with approved termite barriers to prevent future infestations. If only minor surface damage is present, we can repair and reinforce the area. Our goal is to restore your fence's strength and appearance while addressing the root cause.
What are the benefits of replacing an old deck versus repairing it?
It depends on the deck's condition. If the structure is sound but has a few rotten boards or loose railings, repair is often the more cost-effective option. We can replace individual deck boards, reinforce joists, and update railings to extend its life. However, if the deck has widespread rot, termite damage, or outdated framing, a full replacement may be safer and more economical in the long run. A new deck also gives you the chance to upgrade materials, like using composite decking for lower maintenance. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons based on your specific situation.
Do you install automatic gates for residential properties in Guyton?
Yes, we install and repair automatic gates for homes in Guyton and the surrounding area. We work with slide and swing gate openers, including solar-powered options for properties without easy access to electricity. Our team handles the entire process—from selecting a reliable opener to running conduit and setting up safety sensors. Whether you need a new driveway gate or want to automate an existing manual gate, we ensure smooth operation and compliance with local safety codes.
