Fence Installation Olathe KS | Call Concrete Genie Property Services

Olathe’s hot, humid summers and freezing winters create cycles of moisture absorption and expansion in wood, especially if posts are untreated or lack proper drainage. Soil contact speeds rot. Signs include soft wood near the base, leaning posts, or mushroom growth. We solve this by replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated wood, applying weatherproof sealants, and ensuring proper post setting with gravel for drainage.

Look for peeling or flaking paint, bare wood showing, dark spots indicating moisture, or a brittle texture. After a storm, check for splintering. If water beads up on the wood, it’s still protected; if it soaks in, it’s time to weatherproof. Our weatherproofing service includes power washing, applying high-quality stain or paint, and sealing all joints to prevent Olathe’s humidity from causing rot.

Yes, we can match the existing color and finish for spot repairs on a section. However, fading often indicates UV damage and reduced protection. We recommend a complete refinish every 3-5 years for even durability. If you only do a section, we’ll check the adjoining wood for any hidden rot or wear to ensure a seamless, lasting result.
