Fence Contractors Columbia SC | Call Handy Pro Solutions

Columbia’s high humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms create a damp environment that accelerates wood rot, especially if fence posts are set directly in concrete without proper drainage. Over time, moisture gets trapped at the base, leading to decay. Handy Pro Solutions addresses this by using pressure-treated lumber, installing gravel drainage at post bases, and sealing the wood with a quality stain or paint. If rot has already set in, we replace the damaged sections and reinforce the remaining structure to prevent future issues.

Look for soft spots, splintering boards, or nails that have popped up. If the deck feels bouncy when you walk on it or you see visible rot near the house attachment, those are signs of structural issues. In Columbia, decks often suffer from moisture damage and termite activity. Handy Pro Solutions can inspect your deck and advise whether targeted repairs—like replacing a few boards or reinforcing railings—will suffice, or if the frame is too compromised and a full replacement is the safer, longer-term option.

Yes. We carry a wide range of colors and finishes, and we can usually match your current stain or paint by bringing a sample to our supplier. For automatic or manual gates, we also ensure the paint or stain is compatible with the gate’s moving parts to avoid binding. If your fence is older and the color has faded, we can recommend a fresh stain that complements your home’s exterior while protecting against Columbia’s UV rays and humidity.
