Wood and Vinyl Fencing Shreveport LA | Call J&D Fence

In Shreveport's humid climate, termite damage often shows up as hollow-sounding wood, small pin holes in the surface, or mud tubes running along the base of the fence. You might also notice sagging sections or wood that crumbles easily. If you see any of these signs, it's best to call us for an inspection—catching it early can save the entire fence.

After a storm, look for leaning posts, loose or missing panels, cracked rails, and warped boards. If the gate drags or won't latch properly, that's another red flag. In Shreveport, we recommend a professional check—especially near neighborhoods like Broadmoor or Highland—because hidden damage from high winds can worsen over time.

For our area, we often suggest metal fencing like aluminum or galvanized steel, which won't rot or attract termites. For wood lovers, pressure-treated pine with a proper sealant is a solid choice, but we always reinforce posts with concrete and use hurricane-grade fasteners. This approach holds up well in Shreveport's weather extremes, from summer storms to high humidity.
