Custom Built Fence and Construction has been serving Chillicothe, OH, for over 20 years, specializing in residential fence repair and installation. Local homeowners near Yoctangee Park and along the Scioto River often face issues with wooden fences rotting from humidity or posts leaning due to frost heave. We address these problems by using pressure-treated lumber and deep-set concrete footings, ensuring stability through Ohio winters. Whether replacing a damaged fence in the Historic District or adding privacy to a home on Mt. Logan, our team provides durable solutions with a focus on long-term performance. We're proud to be a neighborly business that understands the unique climate and soil conditions of Ross County.
FAQs
Why do my fence posts keep leaning in Chillicothe's clay soil?
Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, causing posts to shift. We solve this by digging below the frost line (at least 36 inches) and setting posts in a concrete collar with a gravel base for drainage, preventing heave and keeping your fence straight.
What's the best fence material for privacy near a busy street in Chillicothe?
For maximum privacy and low maintenance, we recommend vinyl or cedar board-on-board fencing. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, while vinyl withstands humidity near the Scioto River. Both options block noise and are popular in neighborhoods like Mound City.
How can I tell if my fence needs repair or replacement?
Check for loose rails, rotted wood at ground contact, or posts that move more than 1 inch when pushed. If over 30% of the fence is damaged, replacement is more cost-effective. We offer free inspections in Chillicothe to diagnose issues and provide honest advice.
