Fencing Company Longmont CO | Call Evans Fencing Services

The main cause is our dry climate and intense UV exposure, combined with sudden moisture from summer hailstorms or sprinklers. This constant cycle of swelling and drying leads to cracked, warped, or rotted boards. Evans Fencing Services recommends selecting pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, and applying a quality stain with UV protection. We can also repair individual damaged boards without replacing the entire fence, saving you money.

Common signs include unusual grinding noises when opening or closing, slow or jerky movement, or the gate stopping mid-cycle. You might also notice rust around the hinges or track. If you see any of these signs, it's best to have us inspect the motor, gears, and sensors. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to a full gate breakdown, leaving your property insecure. We offer prompt automatic gate repair services across Longmont.

If the wood still feels solid and isn't splitting, a weatherproofing treatment with a clear UV-blocking sealant may be enough to restore moisture and color. However, if the wood is dry, gray, or starting to crack, a fresh coat of exterior paint or stain will add a protective layer. Our team can assess the fence and recommend the best solution. We handle staining, painting, and weatherproofing for fences and gates throughout the Longmont area.
