Jgm General Contractor: Professional Fencing Company Serving North Potomac, MD 20878

The main causes are moisture from our humid summers and frost heave during winter, which can rot wood at the ground line or shift posts out of alignment. Jgm General Contractor can replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or set them in concrete for stability, and we also offer metal post spikes for a longer-lasting solution. We'll inspect your entire fence line and recommend the best fix to keep your yard secure.

Not necessarily. Splintering boards and loose railing are common signs of wear from our local weather, but they can often be repaired. Jgm can sand and seal splintered boards, tighten or replace hardware, and reinforce the railing posts. However, if the ledger board is pulling away from the house or the joists are rotting, a full deck replacement may be safer and more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest assessment and quote.

We recommend a plumbing inspection at least once every two years, or annually for older homes. Our inspection covers looking for hidden leaks under sinks, checking water pressure, testing for signs of pipe corrosion, and inspecting your water heater for rust or sediment. Early detection saves you from costly water damage and emergency repairs – it's a small step that protects your home's value.
