Privacy Fence Installation St. Louis MO | Call Master Fence

In St. Louis, the main cause is the region's dramatic humidity shifts and freeze-thaw cycles. Wood absorbs moisture in summer and contracts in winter, leading to warping, cracking, or splitting. Master Fence can repair or replace damaged pickets, and we recommend annual weatherproofing with a quality sealant to slow moisture absorption. For existing warped boards, we'll assess whether straightening or replacement is the better option.

This often signals a sensor misalignment, worn motor components, or an electrical issue in the control board. You might also notice unusual grinding noises or the gate moving slower than usual. Master Fence provides automatic gate repair across St. Louis, including sensor recalibration, motor replacement, and wiring fixes. We'd recommend checking for visible obstructions first, but for persistent issues, our technicians can diagnose and repair the system at your home.

Given St. Louis's weather, we recommend painting or staining every two to three years for best results. Harsh UV rays and moisture from summer storms can cause fading and peeling sooner. Master Fence offers professional fence painting and staining services that include proper surface prep and application of high-durability products. This not only keeps your fence looking fresh but also helps prevent rot and rust from setting in.
