Hunt Fence and Handyman Services - Batavia's Expert Privacy Fence Installation

The main cause is Batavia's humid summers and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, which trap moisture in wood and cause paint to peel or wood to rot. The solution starts with a thorough inspection and fence repair to replace damaged boards. After that, we sand, prime, and apply a weatherproof stain or paint. At Hunt Fence and Handyman Services, we also weatherproof the entire fence to prevent future moisture damage, ensuring your fence lasts longer in our local climate.

Yes, absolutely. Sagging gates are often due to loose hinges, warped wood, or ground shifting from Batavia's wet soil. We can tighten hardware, reinforce the gate frame, and adjust the posts to restore proper function. If the gate is beyond repair, we can install a new one that matches your existing fence. Our fence and gate repair service is designed to fix the specific problem without unnecessary replacement.

The best prevention is applying a high-quality weatherproofing sealant or stain before winter hits. In Batavia, the freeze-thaw cycle and moisture from snow can cause wood to crack and finishes to fade. We recommend a cleaning and re-staining every 2-3 years, depending on sun exposure. Our fence weatherproofing service includes cleaning, sanding, and applying a durable, UV-resistant coating that protects against our local weather extremes.
