Q&A
What are common signs that my fence needs repair after a Des Moines winter?
Look for loose or missing boards, cracked or splintered wood, sagging gates, rusted hinges, and posts that lean or shift. Winter snow and freeze-thaw cycles can weaken concrete footings and cause wood to warp. If you notice any of these, it's best to call us for a free inspection.
How can I prevent my wood fence from rotting in Des Moines' humid summers?
Regular weatherproofing is key. We recommend staining or sealing your fence every 2–3 years to protect against moisture. Proper drainage around fence posts and keeping vegetation away also helps. Our weatherproofing service includes cleaning, sanding, and applying a high-quality sealant to extend your fence's life.
Can you repair a damaged section of my deck instead of replacing the whole thing?
Yes, we often perform targeted deck repairs, especially for isolated issues like a few rotten boards or a loose railing. Our team will assess the damage and provide a cost-effective solution. If the damage is widespread, we’ll recommend a full replacement. Either way, we ensure the repair matches your existing deck.
