Frequently Asked Questions
What causes wooden fences to rot so quickly in Portland, CT, and how can you fix it?
Portland's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters can cause moisture to get trapped in wooden fence posts, leading to rot. Common signs include soft spots near the ground, discoloration, or a musty smell. Johnson Fence & Landscaping can replace rotted posts with pressure-treated wood or switch to vinyl or aluminum for a longer-lasting solution. We also recommend proper drainage and sealing to prevent future issues.
My fence was damaged by a storm near the Portland Fairgrounds—what should I do?
Storm damage often shows up as leaning sections, cracked rails, or missing pickets. If your fence near the Portland Fairgrounds or along the Connecticut River took a hit, give us a call. We can assess the damage, straighten posts, and replace any broken parts quickly. For older fences, we might suggest upgrading to a more durable material like vinyl to better withstand future storms.
How can Johnson Fence & Landscaping help if my neighbor and I disagree on the property line?
Property line disputes are common in Portland, especially in older neighborhoods like those off Marlborough Street. We don’t get into legal arguments, but we can help by installing a fence exactly on the surveyed boundary. Before starting, we recommend you have a property survey done. Once we have the stakes, we’ll set the posts precisely, giving you a clear, professional boundary without adding to the tension.
