Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fences and gates do you install in Durham?
We install custom fences and gates in all styles, including privacy, picket, split rail, and ornamental iron. For gates, we offer manual and automatic options for driveways, walkways, and pool enclosures. We use materials like cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, and aluminum to match your property's needs and Durham's climate.
How do you handle fencing problems caused by Durham's humidity and storms?
Durham's humidity and occasional storms can cause wood rot, warping, or loose posts. To address this, we use pressure-treated lumber or vinyl for moisture resistance. We set posts with concrete and gravel for drainage, and we seal all wood to prevent water damage. This approach helps your fence stay sturdy and look good for years.
Do you build decks and ramps for homes in neighborhoods like Hope Valley or Trinity Park?
Yes, we build custom decks, porches, and wheelchair ramps for homes throughout Durham, including Hope Valley, Trinity Park, and Old West Durham. We design each project to fit your property's layout and local building codes. For decks, we offer composite or wood options, and for ramps, we ensure safe, code-compliant access.
