Questions and Answers
My wooden fence in Harriman has started to rot at the bottom. What causes this and how can D & M Fencing fix it?
The main cause is our local humidity and frequent rain in Harriman, which allows moisture to sit at the base of the wood. This is a clear sign the fence wasn't properly sealed or has been in ground contact. D & M Fencing can solve this by replacing the damaged pickets and posts. We can also upgrade you to pressure-treated wood or vinyl, which resists our local weather much better, giving you a long-lasting fence near Roane State or your Harriman neighborhood.
My gate won't close properly and is dragging on the ground. Is this a common issue, and can you fix it?
Yes, this is very common here in Harriman due to the soil shifting after heavy rains and freeze-thaw cycles. The sign is usually a sagging gate that scrapes. D & M Fencing can solve this by adjusting the hinges, replacing worn hardware, or resetting the gate posts if they've moved. We'll make sure your gate swings freely and latches securely, giving you peace of mind whether you're near the Harriman City Hall or the CSX rail line.
I need a fence for privacy in my backyard off of Highway 27. What style would you recommend that will also handle the wind?
For privacy along a busy area like Highway 27, we often recommend a solid board-on-board wood fence. This style offers maximum privacy and blocks wind better than spaced pickets. The 'sign' to use this is wanting complete seclusion from traffic. D & M Fencing can install this using treated pine, which we seal and stain to handle the elements. We also offer vinyl privacy fences which are very low-maintenance and are great for wind resistance. We'll help you choose the best option for your corner of Harriman.
