Legacy Fabrication - Summerville's Top-Rated Fence Contractors

Summerville's high humidity and frequent rain create the perfect environment for moisture to seep into wood, causing it to warp, rot, and attract termites. Additionally, the region's sandy, shifting soil can destabilize fence posts, leading to leaning or sagging sections. For metal gates, rust is common if they aren't properly treated. At Legacy Fabrication, we address these issues by using pressure-treated wood and corrosion-resistant metals, along with deep-set posts and proper drainage techniques.

Look for signs like significant leaning, widespread rot (soft or crumbling wood), loose or missing boards, or rust-through on metal components. If the damage is isolated to a few boards or a single gate hinge, repair is often sufficient. However, if multiple posts are shifting or the structure is over 10–15 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective. Our team at Legacy Fabrication can inspect your fence and give you an honest assessment based on Summerville's specific weather and soil conditions.

Absolutely. We offer custom metal fabrication that can be painted or powder-coated to complement any wood stain or style. For example, a black wrought-iron gate paired with cedar fencing near the historic district or Dorchester Road creates a cohesive, curb-appealing look. We also ensure the metal components are sealed against moisture, preventing rust from Summerville's humid climate. Just bring us a photo or a sample, and we'll fabricate a gate that integrates seamlessly with your existing fence.
