Trusted Fence Contractors in Birmingham, AL 35206 - Hines Home Remodeling

High humidity and frequent rain in Birmingham often trap moisture in wood, especially near the ground. Poor drainage around fence posts leads to accelerated rot and erosion. Hines Home Remodeling addresses this by replacing rotted fence boards and posts, using treated lumber and ensuring proper gravel drainage at post bases. We also re-stain or seal the wood to protect against future moisture damage.

Soft wood and leaning posts are classic signs of moisture damage from poor drainage. If left unchecked, the entire fence section may collapse. Hines Home Remodeling can assess the affected posts, remove rotted sections, install new posts with a concrete and gravel base for proper drainage, and repair or replace the adjoining fence panels. We'll also inspect the soil grade to prevent water pooling.

Absolutely. Our exterior painting service includes thorough surface prep—cleaning, sanding, and applying a mildew-resistant primer—followed by a high-quality paint or stain designed to repel moisture. In Birmingham's climate, a good paint or stain job significantly slows wood rot. We also seal the ends of fence posts and tops of gates to block water intrusion.
