Como Fencing And Deck - Columbia's Reliable Fencing Company

The biggest cause of fence damage in Columbia is moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, which lead to rot at ground level and loose posts. We address this by replacing rotted sections, resetting posts on concrete footings, and applying weatherproofing sealants. Our team also checks for proper drainage around post bases to prevent future issues.

Signs that repair may be enough include isolated rotted boards, minor cracks, or a wobbly railing. If the ledger board is rotten, joists are sagging, or there’s widespread structural rot, replacement is usually safer. We inspect your deck and explain exactly what’s needed—no pressure to replace if repair will do the job.

Yes, absolutely. Columbia’s humidity and temperature swings cause untreated wood to crack, warp, and rot quickly. A proper stain or paint seals the wood, reduces moisture absorption, and prevents UV damage. We use weather-resistant finishes and reapply as needed. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to double the life of your fence.
