Residential Fencing Baton Rouge LA | Call Coastal Bulkheads & Fences

Yes, those are common signs of termite damage in Baton Rouge, especially after our humid seasons. Termites eat wood from the inside, leaving a hollow sound when tapped and tiny pin-prick holes. Coastal Bulkheads & Fences can assess the extent of the damage. We often recommend replacing just the affected sections with pressure-treated wood or upgrading to termite-resistant materials like vinyl or aluminum for your fence. We’ll handle the repair or replacement efficiently, making sure your gate and fence are secure again.

Absolutely. Floodwater can saturate the ground, causing fence posts to loosen and shift, which makes the fence lean or sag. Coastal Bulkheads & Fences specializes in fixing flood-affected fencing. We’ll inspect the posts and rails to see if they’re rotted or just shifted. Often, we can reset the posts using a concrete footing that extends deeper than the frost line (which also helps in our wet climate) or replace them with metal anchors. We’ll get your fence standing straight and strong, so it can handle Baton Rouge’s next downpour.

For Baton Rouge homes, we highly recommend aluminum, vinyl, or chain link fencing. These materials are completely immune to termites. For flood resistance, vinyl and aluminum are excellent because they won’t rot or warp when wet. If you prefer the look of wood, we can install a cedar or pressure-treated pine fence, but proper post-setting—using gravel at the base and concrete above ground—is key to prevent water damage. Coastal Bulkheads & Fences can guide you through the best options for your neighborhood and budget, ensuring your fence lasts for years to come.
