Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Smiths Station, AL 36877 - D&R Dirtworks

High winds and flying debris from severe Alabama storms often impact wooden fences, causing stress fractures or direct impact cracks. Over time, moisture absorption and temperature fluctuations weaken the wood, making pickets more prone to splitting. If your fence has existing rot or dry rot, even a moderate storm can cause widespread cracking.

Look for leaning sections, loose or missing pickets, splintered wood, and gaps where panels meet. Also check for rusted or popped nails, sagging gates, and uneven posts. In Smiths Station, early signs like minor cracks or warping can worsen quickly, so inspecting your fence after heavy rain or wind is recommended.

We start with a thorough inspection to identify all damaged areas, from cracked pickets to unstable posts. We replace broken components with pressure-treated lumber, reinforce weak spots, and apply weatherproof sealant to protect against future storms. For automatic gates, we check electrical connections and motors to ensure smooth, safe operation. Our goal is to restore your fence to a sturdy, long-lasting condition.
