DSC Construction: Best Fencing Company Serving Gretna, LA 70053

Termite damage often starts subtly. Look for small, pinhole-sized openings in the wood, mud tubes on the fence posts or rails, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped. You might also see wings near the base of the fence. In Gretna's humid climate, these signs can appear quickly. If you notice any of these, it's best to have a professional assess the damage before it spreads to your siding or home's structure.

While we primarily specialize in wood and siding, we can often repair or replace sections of a rusting metal fence that are beyond repair. More importantly, we can install a new, durable wooden fence or siding that won't rust. For existing metal fences, we recommend regular painting with a rust-inhibiting primer and ensuring proper drainage to prevent water pooling at the base.

In many cases, we can perform targeted siding repair to replace only the damaged boards, saving you money. However, if the termite damage is extensive or the siding is old and brittle, a full siding replacement might be more cost-effective and ensure the structural integrity of your home. We'll inspect your siding to determine the best solution, whether it's a simple repair or a complete new installation tailored to Gretna's climate.
