Eckenfels Contracting | Local Residential Fencing in Wooster, OH

The most common cause is moisture damage from our humid summers and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, which rots wooden posts and causes panels to sag. Eckenfels Contracting addresses this by replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated lumber or upgrading to vinyl fencing that resists moisture. We also set posts in gravel and concrete to improve drainage, ensuring your fence stays straight and secure longer.

Signs your deck needs attention include loose railings, spongy floorboards, visible rot, or nails popping up. If the damage is limited to a few boards or the railing, we can repair those sections. But if the ledger board (where the deck attaches to the house) is rotted or the joists are compromised, replacement is safer. Eckenfels Contracting will inspect the structure and give you an honest recommendation—no upsells, just what’s needed for safety and longevity.

Yes, we do. As general contractors, we can design and build additions that seamlessly integrate with your current deck, fence, or home. For example, if you’re adding a sunroom or a screened porch, we’ll tie it into your existing deck structure and ensure proper drainage and permits. We’re familiar with Wooster’s building codes and can coordinate with local inspectors to keep the project on track.
