Professional Fence Builders in Brentwood, TN 37027 - Cardona’s Remodeling

Common signs include leaning posts, rotting wood, rusted hardware, and gaps between boards. These issues are often caused by our clay soil expanding and contracting with moisture changes. Cardona’s Remodeling addresses this by installing concrete footings for stability, using pressure-treated or cedar wood that resists rot, and applying a durable sealant. We also replace damaged sections and reinforce gates to ensure your fence stays secure and level for years.

The main cause is our local weather: high humidity encourages wood rot, while freeze-thaw cycles shift the ground and loosen posts. To prevent damage, choose rot-resistant materials like cedar, pine, or composite, and ensure proper drainage around the post bases. Cardona’s Remodeling recommends annual inspections for loose boards or rust. Our team can also install anti-rot barriers and adjust your fence’s footing to accommodate soil movement, significantly extending its lifespan.

We use a specialized process: first, we clean the wood to remove mold and mildew common in our damp environment. Then we apply a primer and a high-quality exterior stain or paint that’s designed to resist UV fading and moisture. For maximum durability, we recommend semi-transparent stains for natural wood or solid stains for a painted look. Our team also advises on proper maintenance – like re-coating every 2-3 years – to keep your fence looking fresh and protected from our hot summers and wet springs.
