Questions and Answers
What causes mold and mildew to grow on my deck or fence in New Orleans?
The high humidity and frequent rain in New Orleans create a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. Shaded areas near the French Quarter or along the Mississippi River are especially prone because moisture lingers longer. Poor drainage, lack of sunlight, and untreated wood can accelerate growth. Our deck construction and repair services address these causes by using pressure-treated lumber and recommending proper sealing to prevent moisture absorption.
How can I tell if my deck needs repair or replacement due to moisture damage?
Signs of moisture damage include warped or rotting boards, soft spots when you walk, and visible mold or mildew that resists cleaning. If the damage is isolated, deck repair can replace affected areas. However, if the structure feels unstable or more than 30% of the wood is compromised, a deck replacement may be needed. We inspect decks in neighborhoods like the Garden District to identify these issues early and save you money.
Can French Quarter Fencing fix a gate hinge that keeps sticking or rusting?
Absolutely. Broken gate hinges are common in New Orleans due to humidity and salt air near Lake Pontchartrain. Our solution involves removing the old hinge, cleaning the post and gate edge, and installing a heavy-duty stainless steel or galvanized hinge. We also realign the gate to prevent future binding. This is one of our most requested fence gate services in the Marigny and Bywater areas.
