FAQs
What causes wood fence rot in Duluth, and how can I spot it early?
Duluth’s high humidity and frequent rain create a perfect environment for moisture to soak into wood fence posts and rails. Early signs of rot include soft or spongy wood, dark discoloration, a musty smell, or visible mold and mildew growth near the ground. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call a professional like Funes Fencing to assess the damage before it spreads.
My fence was damaged in a recent storm—what should I do next?
After a storm, check for loose or broken boards, leaning posts, or gaps in the fence line. For safety, avoid touching any downed power lines. Funes Fencing can quickly inspect and repair storm-damaged sections, replacing broken panels and reinforcing posts to withstand future winds. We serve all Duluth neighborhoods, including those near the Sugarloaf Parkway area.
Can you repair just a section of my fence, or do I need a full replacement?
Yes, we often repair only the damaged sections rather than replacing the entire fence. For storm damage or localized rot, we can match your existing style and material to seamlessly replace individual posts, rails, or panels. A full replacement is only recommended if the rot is widespread or the fence is structurally unsound. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on a free on-site evaluation.
