CMW Fence Deck & Construction - Longview's Trusted Fence Installation

It’s usually the soil. Longview has heavy clay that expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells, loosening the post hole. This constant movement can cause posts to tilt. CMW Fence Deck & Construction solves this by setting posts in wider, deeper holes with concrete footings designed for shifting soil, keeping your fence straight and stable through the seasons.

Check for soft or rotted wood at ground contact points and around post bases. On decks, also look at railings and joists. If just a few boards are damaged, repair works fine. But if more than 25% of the structure is compromised or posts are wobbly, replacement is often safer and more cost-effective. CMW can inspect your deck or fence and give you a clear, honest recommendation.

Weatherproofing is key. After installation, CMW applies a high-quality stain or sealant specifically for our humid, rainy climate. For wooden fences and decks in Longview, we recommend recoating every 2-3 years. For gates, we add rust-resistant hardware and weatherstripping to prevent warping and sticking, keeping everything functional and looking great.
