Marc & Gilbert Construction - Woodburn's Local Fence Contractors

Woodburn’s rainy climate and high humidity create the perfect conditions for moisture to seep into untreated wood. Over time, this leads to fungal rot, especially at ground contact points and where fence boards overlap. Poor drainage around fence posts accelerates the problem. Marc & Gilbert Construction recommends using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods and installing gravel footings to keep posts dry.

Signs of serious fence damage include leaning sections, loose or missing boards, visible rot near the base, and cracks that allow water in. If more than 30% of your fence is affected, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. For minor issues like a single rotted post or loose gate, our team can do targeted repairs. We’ll inspect your fence and give you an honest recommendation based on its condition and your budget.

Absolutely. Moisture doesn’t just harm fences—it’s the leading cause of deck decay, too. We offer deck repair and full replacement services in Woodburn. Common fixes include replacing rotten deck boards, reinforcing joists, and adding proper flashing to prevent water from getting trapped. If your deck is beyond repair, we can build a new one using composite or treated lumber that handles Oregon’s weather much better.
