Best Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Liberty, MO 64068 - Clay’s Custom Home Improvement and Repair

Rotting fence posts are usually caused by moisture trapped at the base, often from poor drainage or ground contact. In Liberty’s clay-heavy soil, water can pool around wood posts. Clay’s Custom Home Improvement can replace individual rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or concrete-set posts to prevent future decay. We’ll match the existing fence style, so you don’t need a full replacement unless the rest of the fence is also failing.

An automatic gate that stops mid-cycle often has a sensor alignment problem, a worn gear, or a voltage drop in the wiring. Before assuming the motor is bad, Clay’s team checks the track, hinges, and control board. In Liberty, we also see issues from debris buildup near the gate’s pivot point. We’ll diagnose the exact cause and repair or replace the faulty part—saving you the cost of a new motor if it’s not needed.

Splitting and warping are often signs of low-grade lumber or improper spacing during installation. In Liberty’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters, wood expands and contracts more. Clay’s Custom Home Improvement can replace only the damaged boards if the substructure is sound. We’ll use kiln-dried, ground-contact-rated lumber and proper gap spacing. If the joists or ledger board are also damaged, we’ll recommend a full deck replacement with composite materials for longer life.
