FAQs
What are the first signs that my fence needs weatherproofing in Missoula?
In Missoula, frequent moisture from spring rains and melting snow can cause wood to warp, crack, or show mildew. If you notice peeling paint, soft spots, or discoloration near the base, it's time to weatherproof. Lenz Fencing can apply sealants and stains to protect your fence from Montana's freeze-thaw cycle, preventing costly rot.
Can Lenz Fencing fix a gate that won’t close properly after the winter freeze?
Yes. Cold winters in Missoula often cause gates to sag or shift due to frost heave. We repair both manual and automatic gates by adjusting hinges, realigning posts, and checking hardware. For automatic gates, we also test sensors and wiring to ensure smooth operation in all seasons.
How do you prevent wood rot on fences near the Clark Fork River?
Missoula’s river areas have high humidity and soil moisture, accelerating wood rot. We counter this by using cedar or pressure-treated lumber and applying a waterproofing sealant during installation. For existing fences, our team strips old paint, treats damaged wood, and adds a protective finish to block moisture penetration.
