Q&A
What is the most common cause of fence rot in Charleston, and how do you fix it?
Constant exposure to humidity and rain is the primary cause of rot, especially in wooden fences. We address this by carefully removing the rotted sections, replacing damaged pickets or posts, and then applying a high-quality weatherproofing sealant or stain. For new installations, we can recommend rot-resistant materials like cedar or pressure-treated pine.
My wooden fence has faded to a dull gray from the South Carolina sun. Can you restore the color?
Yes, that's a very common issue. We offer fence painting and staining services. We thoroughly clean the wood, let it dry, and then apply a UV-resistant stain or paint. This significantly improves the appearance and protects the wood from further sun damage and moisture.
A storm knocked a gate off its hinges near Folly Beach. Can you repair it rather than replace the whole fence?
Absolutely. Gate repair is a specific service we provide. We assess the damage, whether it's a broken hinge, a sagging post, or a cracked gate panel. Often we can rehang the gate with heavier-duty hardware and reinforce the post to make it more durable for the next storm. This is usually much more cost-effective than a full replacement.
