Fence Contractors Greenville SC | Call Caliber Construction and Contracting

In Greenville, the combination of humidity and clay soil can cause fence posts to rot or shift over time. Moisture seeps into untreated wood, leading to decay at the base. The shifting clay soil also loosens the posts, making the fence lean. Our solution is to replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber set in concrete, and to reinforce the rails and pickets. For longer-lasting results, we can also install vinyl or aluminum fencing that resists moisture better.

Gaps under a fence are a common sign of soil erosion or settling, especially in neighborhoods near the Reedy River. The easiest fix is to add a gravel guard or a buried wire mesh along the bottom of the fence. If the gaps are large or the posts are uneven, we recommend replacing the bottom rail and installing a new row of pickets closer to the ground. We can also build a custom gate with a threshold to seal the bottom.

It depends on the condition of the deck structure itself. Wobbly railing is often a sign that the posts or the rim joist are rotten from exposure to rain and snow. We can inspect the deck's framing and footings. If the deck boards and joists are sound, we can simply replace the railing with a new system (wood, composite, or cable), and add new, properly anchored posts. But if the framing is compromised, a full deck replacement is safer and more cost-effective in the long run.
