Privacy Fence Installation Lexington KY | Call Integrity Painting

In Lexington, the most common causes are moisture from humidity and rain, and the freeze-thaw cycle that causes wood to expand and contract. This leads to warping, cracking, and rot. While a fresh coat of paint or stain can help seal the wood, Integrity Painting first inspects for damage and reinforces weak spots, replaces rotted sections, and rehangs sagging gates before painting. This two-step approach ensures the repair lasts and prevents further damage.

If the wood is structurally sound (no extensive rot or loose posts), repainting or restaining can restore its appearance and protect it for years. Integrity Painting will first power wash and scrape away all loose paint, then apply a primer and a high-quality exterior paint. However, if the wood is soft, cracked, or the posts are rotting at the base, replacement sections or a new fence may be more cost-effective. We always provide an honest assessment before recommending the best solution.

Gate misalignment is often due to sagging from gravity or a shifted gatepost. At Integrity Painting, we tighten or replace hinges, and if the gate itself has warped, we can add tension cables or rehang it. We also adjust or replace latch hardware to ensure smooth operation. Painting the gate afterward seals the wood and prevents future swelling that can bind the latch. It’s a relatively quick fix that makes a big difference in usability and security.
