Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to rot in Locust, NC, and how can I prevent it?
In our area, constant moisture from rain and humidity is the main cause of wood rot, especially if posts are set directly in concrete without proper drainage. You’ll first notice soft, crumbly wood near the ground or a leaning fence. To prevent it, we recommend using pressure-treated wood or metal posts, and ensuring a gravel base at the bottom of the post hole for water to drain away. If you already have rot, we can replace affected posts and reinforce the rest of your fence.
My gate is dragging on the ground—what’s the quickest fix?
A dragging gate is usually a sign of loose hinges, a sunken post, or the gate itself warping over time. First, check if the hinges are tight; if they are, the problem is likely the post. We can adjust the post with a concrete footer or replace it if it’s rotted. For a temporary fix, you can add a wheel kit to the bottom of the gate, but a permanent solution from our team will save you from repeated adjustments.
How do I know if my fence needs a full replacement or just repairs?
Look for multiple leaning sections, widespread rot on several posts, or loose boards that can’t be tightened. If less than 30% of your fence is damaged, repairs are usually more cost-effective. However, if the structure is unstable or the wood is over 15 years old, a full replacement often provides better long-term value. We’ll inspect your fence for free and give you an honest recommendation—no pressure.
