D&M Renovation Services - Columbus's Best Residential Fencing

Columbus experiences frequent freeze-thaw cycles and high humidity, which cause wood to expand, contract, and trap moisture. This leads to rot at the base of posts. D&M Renovation Services addresses this by replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated lumber, sealing all cuts with weatherproof stain, and setting posts in gravel for proper drainage. For fences beyond repair, they install new cedar or composite panels that better resist local weather.

Yes. In Central Ohio’s clay-rich soil, shifting ground can throw a gate’s alignment off over time. If your gate drags on the ground or has a visible gap at the latch, D&M Renovation Services can tighten hinges, adjust the frame, or reset concrete footings. For automatic gates, they’ll check sensors and track alignment to prevent further strain on the opener.

Applying a high-quality waterproof stain or sealant before winter is key. D&M Renovation Services uses exterior-grade, UV-resistant stains that bond to wood and repel moisture. They also recommend adding a gravel base beneath gates to reduce ground contact. For existing fences, they can strip old peeling paint, treat bare wood, and apply weatherproofing that lasts through snow and ice.
