C And C Renovations - Rapid City's Reliable Commercial Fencing

Rapid City’s freeze-thaw cycles push fence posts upward when soil moisture freezes and expands. This is called frost heave. The solution is to set posts below the frost line—about 48 inches deep—using concrete. At C And C Renovations, we also add gravel at the base for drainage. If your existing fence is already leaning, we can replace individual posts or the entire fence with frost-proof footings.

Look for signs like spongy decking, loose railings, or nails popping up. If the ledger board (where the deck attaches to your house) is rotted, or if posts at ground level show significant decay, replacement is usually safer and more cost-effective long-term. Minor cracking or warping can often be repaired. We assess each deck’s joist condition and fastener integrity. If more than 30% of the structure is compromised, we recommend replacement.

Absolutely. Our decks use treated lumber with proper joist spacing and stainless steel fasteners to resist moisture. We install railings with concealed brackets to prevent water trapping. For fences, we space pickets to allow airflow and prevent snow buildup. All new builds follow Rapid City building codes for snow load and wind resistance. We also offer composite decking options for even lower maintenance in our climate.
