Wood and Vinyl Fencing Littleton CO | Call Design Renovate Build

The most common cause is moisture from snowmelt and spring rains combined with clay soils that expand and contract. Posts set without proper drainage or pressure-treated wood can rot at the base. Our solution is to excavate the post, replace rotted sections with concrete and gravel footings, or install a metal post anchor system that prevents direct ground contact.

Signs include cracked pickets, loose nails, and gates that sag or won't latch. For windy areas, we recommend using a semi-private fence design with gaps between boards to let wind pass through. We also install heavy-duty hinges and priority reinforcement at the gate posts, using rot-resistant cedar or composite materials.

For a standard backyard fence around 150 linear feet, installation takes two to three days depending on ground conditions and permitting. Gate repairs are usually done in one day. We coordinate with homeowners to work around their schedule, and we handle all city permit requirements for Littleton and unincorporated Jefferson County.
