Q&A
My wooden fence has started to rot and peel after the winter. What are the first signs I need repair or weatherproofing?
The classic signs include peeling paint, visible cracks, soft or spongy spots in the wood, and nails that are starting to pop out. If you notice any of these in Ellington’s humid climate, it’s time for a professional assessment and likely a new coat of stain or sealant.
My automatic gate is opening and closing erratically. Should I replace the whole system or can it be repaired?
Many erratic gate issues in Ellington are caused by a faulty sensor, a dead battery in the opener, or a misaligned track. Our technicians can diagnose the exact problem and often repair it on the spot. We only recommend a full replacement if the motor is severely worn out.
What’s the best way to prepare my fence for a new paint or stain job if I live near a wooded area like Shenipsit State Forest?
Homes near wooded areas in Ellington face extra moisture and debris. We strongly recommend a thorough power wash to remove dirt and mildew, then sanding any rough areas. After that, applying a high-quality, weatherproof stain or paint will seal the wood and protect against rot and insect damage.
