Wood and Vinyl Fencing Memphis TN | Call Custom Fences and Decks

Wood rot on decks in Memphis is primarily caused by high humidity and frequent rain, which trap moisture in the wood. Signs include soft spots, discoloration, and a musty smell. Our solution is to use pressure-treated lumber or composite decking, which resists moisture and decay. We also apply proper sealants and ensure good drainage to prevent rot from starting.

Signs your deck needs repair include loose boards, rusted nails, and minor rot. If you see widespread rot, sagging, or structural cracks, replacement is likely needed. We inspect your deck in Memphis neighborhoods like Midtown or East Memphis, checking for termite damage and water pooling. For severe issues, we recommend replacement with durable materials to avoid future problems.

For Memphis’s humid climate and termite risk, we recommend composite decking or pressure-treated lumber with a borate treatment. Composite materials like Trex resist moisture and pests, while pressure-treated wood is cost-effective if sealed properly. We install decks in areas near the Mississippi River, ensuring materials are rated for high humidity to prevent warping and insect damage.
