CO Fence Pros | Local Privacy Fence Installation in Lakewood, CO

Lakewood's weather is the main cause. Rapid temperature changes, heavy snow, and intense UV exposure can dry out wood, leading to warping and splitting. Moisture from snowmelt also seeps into cracks, expanding when it freezes. Signs include boards that bow, gaps between pickets, or visible cracks. We solve this by replacing damaged boards and applying a weatherproofing sealant that protects against moisture and sun damage.

Common signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won't latch properly, or sags. This often happens because posts shift due to freeze-thaw cycles in Lakewood's soil. If the gate frame is still solid, we can adjust hinges, reset posts, or replace hardware. If the wood is rotted or the frame is cracked, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll inspect it and give you a straightforward recommendation.

Yes, it makes a big difference. Without a protective coating, wood absorbs moisture and UV rays, leading to rot, fading, and cracking. Staining or painting seals the wood, reducing water damage and extending its life by years. We recommend a high-quality exterior stain or paint designed for Colorado's climate. We'll prepare the surface by cleaning and sanding, then apply an even coat for maximum protection.
