Fence Builders Memphis TN | Call Malone Homes

That's a common sign of moisture damage, which is a frequent issue in Memphis's humid climate. Rot at the base typically happens when fence posts are set in concrete without proper drainage or a gravel base, trapping water against the wood. Malone Homes can solve this by replacing the affected sections with pressure-treated wood or a low-maintenance alternative like vinyl. We'll dig out the old posts, install a gravel base for drainage, and set new posts in concrete, which prevents future leaning and rot.

Storm damage often reveals underlying weaknesses like rotted posts or loose brackets. A quick repair might hold temporarily, but for a permanent solution, we recommend replacing the damaged section entirely. We can match your existing fencing style or upgrade to a more wind-resistant design, like one with steel posts or reinforced panels. Our team will secure the new section with proper bracing and rust-proof hardware, ensuring it can handle future Memphis storms.

Loose pickets and a sagging gate are usually signs of hinge and post wear rather than full fence failure. Often, we can tighten the hinges, replace a few screws, and reattach the loose pickets. However, if the gate post itself is rotted or kicked out of alignment (common in our clay soil), we may need to replace that single post and reset the gate. A full replacement is rarely required unless the majority of the fence is over 15 years old or shows widespread rot. We're happy to come take a look and give you an honest assessment for your home near the Highland Strip.
