JW Fence & Deck Restoration | Professional Commercial Fencing in North Kansas City, MO

North Kansas City’s freeze-thaw cycles and high humidity cause wood to expand and contract, leading to warping and cracking. Poor drainage or inadequate sealing can accelerate this. Our restoration process includes power washing, sanding, and applying a high-quality, weather-resistant stain or sealer. We also check for trapped moisture and ensure proper spacing between boards so they can breathe. If the damage is extensive, we can replace individual boards or sections rather than the whole fence.

Absolutely. Sagging gates are common around North Kansas City because the posts can shift in the heavy clay soil. We assess whether the issue is a loose hinge, a rotted post, or a frame that’s twisted. Often, we can reinforce the gate frame with metal corner brackets, adjust the hinges, or reset the post with concrete for stability. If the gate itself is still in decent shape, we’ll repair it rather than recommend a costly replacement.

The key is to prevent water from soaking into the wood. We recommend a deep cleaning first to remove mildew and dirt, then applying a penetrating waterproofing sealer specifically made for decks. We also look for signs of rot near the ground where snow and rain collect. If you already have peeling or discolored stain, we can strip it off and start fresh. Regular maintenance every two to three years will add years to your deck’s life.
