Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my fence boards start splitting after Toledo winters?
Constant freeze-thaw cycles cause moisture to seep into wood, expanding when frozen and contracting when thawed. This repeated stress leads to splits. Our repair and weatherproofing services seal the wood to minimize moisture absorption, and we recommend annual inspections to catch early damage.
My gate keeps sagging and won't latch properly. What's the cause?
Gate sag is often due to loose hinges or a weak frame, worsened by Toledo's wet soil that can shift posts. We reinforce hinge points and replace rotting wood. Sometimes re-setting the post in concrete solves it. Our gate repair service restores alignment and ensures smooth operation.
How can I prevent my new fence from rotting in Toledo's humid summers?
Proper sealing and staining are key. We apply quality weatherproofing treatments that block moisture and UV rays. Choosing pressure-treated or rot-resistant wood like cedar also helps. Our installation includes proper drainage and clearance from soil to reduce rot risk.
