Eiland Fencing & More: Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Opelika, AL 36801

High winds often cause fence sections to blow down when posts are set too shallow or the lumber has begun to rot. In Opelika’s clay-heavy soil, shallow post holes can’t anchor the fence against gusty spring storms. The solution is to replace damaged panels and reset posts deeper — at least 24 inches — with concrete footings. Eiland Fencing & More can replace entire sections or just the failing posts to restore your fence’s stability.

Signs of termite damage include hollow-sounding wood, visible mud tubes on support beams, and small piles of sawdust near the deck. If left untreated, termites can weaken joists and posts, making the deck unsafe. Eiland Fencing & More inspects the full structure, removes compromised lumber, and replaces it with pressure-treated wood. For extensive damage, a complete deck replacement may be the safest option.

If the warping and cracking are limited to a few surface boards, a targeted deck repair is cost-effective. However, if the damage extends to the underlying joists or you see signs of rot, a full deck replacement ensures safety and longevity. Eiland Fencing & More evaluates your deck’s frame, posts, and fasteners before recommending the most practical solution for your Opelika home.
