Candy Construction Fence | Best Fence Installation in Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville’s combination of high humidity, intense summer sun, and frequent rain can cause wood fence stains to fade, peel, or mildew. Ultraviolet rays break down the color, while moisture gets trapped, leading to mold and rot. This is especially common in neighborhoods near the river like Ortega or in coastal areas like Neptune Beach.

Look for obvious signs like cracked or splintered boards, loose or leaning sections, and broken gate hardware. After a storm, check posts near the base—soil can shift or water can loosen them. If your fence in areas like Arlington or Murray Hill has wind-damaged pickets or a tilted gate, it likely needs professional repair.

We’ll first assess the rot by examining the wood for soft spots or discoloration. If the damage is minor, we sand down the affected areas and apply a high-quality stain that matches your current finish. For severe rot, we replace damaged boards or posts, then re-stain and seal the whole fence. This is a common fix for homes near the beaches or in historic districts like Avondale.
