K & S Construction | Best Fencing Company in Cadet, MO

Look for rotting or splintering wood, especially where the deck meets the house. Loose or wobbly railings, popped nails, and spongy floorboards are also red flags. In Cadet's humid climate, mold and mildew can accelerate decay. If more than 20% of the deck is damaged, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. K & S Construction can inspect your deck and give you an honest assessment.

Fence posts rot fastest when set directly in concrete without drainage, trapping moisture against the wood. In Washington County's clay-heavy soil, water pools around posts, leading to decay within a few years. To prevent this, K & S Construction uses gravel at the base of post holes and pressure-treated lumber. Proper grading and sealing the tops of posts also extend their life significantly.

Yes, if the damage is localized—say, a few rotten boards near a leaky planter or a single sagging step—we can replace just those sections. We match the existing wood type and stain as closely as possible. However, if the framing underneath is compromised or the deck is over 15 years old, replacing the entire structure may be safer and more cost-effective in the long run. We'll walk you through your options.
