Privacy Fence Installation Fitchburg MA | Call Core Iron Works

In Fitchburg, the main cause is moisture trapped in wood due to freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain. Snow melting and refreezing can seep into cracks, leading to rot over time. Poor drainage around your property or lack of weatherproofing can accelerate this damage.

Signs include sticking or dragging when opening, visible rust on hinges or frames, warped wood, or gaps between the gate and post. If the gate is difficult to latch or swings unevenly, it’s time for a professional inspection. Core Iron Works can assess whether repair or full replacement is more cost-effective.
