Privacy Fence Installation Lexington SC | Call Fence Works

The most common sign is the presence of peeling or cracking paint, or grayed, splintered wood. Lexington’s high humidity and intense sun cause wood to dry out and crack, while moisture leads to rot and mildew. If you notice these signs, it's a clear signal that your fence needs weatherproofing or re-staining to prevent further damage.

A gate that won't latch is often a sign of sagging posts or loose hinges. Our team will first inspect the gate for damage, then tighten or replace hardware. If the post is leaning, we can repair the post footing or replace it entirely. Once the gate is rehung and aligned, we ensure it swings freely and the latch engages securely again.

The main cause is the combination of high humidity, heavy rain, and shade from mature trees, which traps moisture against the wood. The solution is to apply a high-quality water-repellent stain or sealer after cleaning and drying the fence. We offer professional weatherproofing services that protect against rot and warping, extending the life of your fence by years.
