Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle wood rot and rust on decks and fences in Memphis's humid climate?

In Memphis, humidity and rain can cause wood to rot and metal to rust quickly. For wood decks and fences, we use pressure-treated lumber and apply a sealant designed for high-moisture areas. For metal fences, we choose aluminum or galvanized steel that resists rust, and we install them with proper drainage to avoid standing water. We also recommend annual inspections to catch small issues before they become big repairs.

What’s the difference between a deck repair and a full deck replacement?

A deck repair is ideal when the structure is still sound but has isolated issues like a few rotten boards, loose railings, or minor sagging. We replace only the damaged parts. A full replacement is needed if the support posts, joists, or ledger board are compromised by rot or termites, which can happen after years of exposure. We’ll inspect your deck and give you an honest recommendation based on safety and longevity.

Can you build a wooden fence in a neighborhood with HOA rules, like in East Memphis?

Yes, we work with many homeowners in East Memphis and other areas with HOA or neighborhood covenants. We’re familiar with common restrictions on fence height, materials, and colors. Before we start, we review your HOA guidelines and pull the necessary permits from Shelby County or the City of Memphis. We’ll help you choose a fence that meets those rules while still giving you privacy and curb appeal.
