Fence & Gate Repair, Painting in Lexington, SC | Jeffcoat & Son Property Solutions

Our local clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, causing fence posts to shift. This is a common problem around Lake Murray and neighborhoods like Gibson Pond. Over time, the shifting can loosen the concrete base and expose the wood to moisture, leading to rot. Jeffcoat & Son can inspect your posts and install a more stable footing or replace rotted sections with pressure-treated or composite materials that withstand our local conditions.

Look for signs like a gate that won’t latch, individual fence boards that wobble or touch the ground, and visible cracks or soft spots in the wood. During our rainy winters, these issues get worse fast. Jeffcoat & Son will check your fence for loose nails, rusted hardware, and soil erosion around posts, then offer a practical fix—whether tightening hardware, replacing a single board, or realigning a gate.

For Lexington’s humid summers and stormy spring weather, we often recommend aluminum or vinyl fencing for low maintenance and a clean look. If you prefer wood, we use pressure-treated Southern yellow pine and apply a high-quality sealant to resist moisture near areas like Crickentree. We also set posts deeper and use gravel at the base to prevent rot. Jeffcoat & Son will help you choose a fence that lasts without constant upkeep.
