Fencing Company Novi MI | Call Evelyn Fence

Novi's heavy snow, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles can saturate wood posts and cause rot at ground level. Over time, the soil shifts and loosens, making posts unstable. Evelyn Fence addresses this by using pressure-treated or rot-resistant wood, plus concrete footings set below the frost line to keep posts upright and stable year-round.

Look for widespread rot, multiple loose or broken pickets, or posts that wobble when pushed. If damage is limited to a few sections, Evelyn Fence can often replace only those parts. But if more than 30% of the fence is compromised or the frame is rotting, replacement is usually more cost-effective and durable.

Vinyl or aluminum fences are popular choices because they resist moisture and don't rot. Evelyn Fence recommends a 4- to 6-foot privacy fence for containment and security, with self-closing gates. For active pets, consider a 'dog-run' or a fence with no toe holds to prevent climbing. All installations follow Novi's local setback and height codes.
