Frequently Asked Questions
What are the first signs that my fence has been damaged by Charlotte storms?
After a heavy storm, common signs include loose or missing fence boards, gates that no longer latch properly, visible cracks in the wood or vinyl, and leaning posts. You might also see gaps between the fence and the ground. If you notice any of these, it’s best to have a professional inspection to prevent further damage.
Can you repair a fence that has been partially blown over by wind in Charlotte?
Yes, often we can. Many times, the damage is isolated to a few panels or a single post. We can replace damaged boards, reset leaning posts with concrete for better stability, and re-secure loose sections. If the damage is extensive, a full replacement might be more cost-effective, but we’ll always give you an honest assessment.
What type of fence material holds up best in Charlotte's humid climate and storms?
For Charlotte’s humidity and storm risks, we recommend pressure-treated pine or cedar for wood fences, or heavy-gauge aluminum for gates. Wood needs to be sealed properly, while aluminum is virtually maintenance-free and won't rot. Vinyl can also work but may become brittle in extreme cold. We'll help you choose based on your yard's specific exposure.
