L&J Fencing - Marion's Experienced Privacy Fence Installation

In Marion, the primary causes are freeze-thaw cycles that shift soil and moisture buildup from heavy spring rains. Wood posts set directly in ground without proper drainage often rot at the base. L&J Fencing uses concrete footings and pressure-treated lumber to prevent leaning, and offers vinyl or aluminum alternatives that resist moisture damage entirely.

Look for isolated issues like one or two loose pickets, a sagging gate, or minor rust spots on chain-link. If the fence is still structurally sound (posts are firm) but has cosmetic damage or a small section broken by wind, repair is cost-effective. However, widespread rot, multiple loose posts, or large gaps signal replacement is needed. We offer free inspections to help you decide.

For homes close to Uptown Marion or along busy streets, we install 6-foot privacy fences in cedar or vinyl that block noise and views. For security, we reinforce gates with self-closing hinges and keyed locks, and use sturdy chain-link or wrought iron to keep pets and children safe. Our team works with your HOA guidelines to ensure compliance.
