Lumberjack Fence - Raleigh's Experienced Commercial Fencing

Raleigh's humid subtropical climate, combined with frequent rain and clay soil that retains moisture, creates ideal conditions for wood rot. Additionally, termites are common in the area and can accelerate decay if untreated wood is used. Lumberjack Fence recommends using pressure-treated wood or vinyl to prevent these issues.

Look for discolored or spongy wood, especially near the ground where moisture collects. Other signs include peeling paint, visible mud tubes on posts, or small holes in the wood. If you notice a post wobbling or a gate sagging, it may indicate internal rot or termite activity. Lumberjack Fence offers free inspections to catch these problems early.

We replace damaged sections with rot-resistant materials like cedar or vinyl, and use metal post anchors to keep wood off the ground. For termite-prone areas, we install treated lumber and can add a gravel base to improve drainage. Our team also seals and stains wood fences to extend their life, and we offer full replacements if the damage is extensive.
