M&D Roofing and Construction - Kenner's Best Fence Contractors

Kenner's hot, humid climate creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew on wooden fences. Frequent rain, shade from nearby trees, and poor airflow allow moisture to linger. Over time, organic matter like leaves and pollen sticking to the wood feeds the growth. This is especially common in neighborhoods near Rivertown or the lakefront where humidity is higher.

After a storm, check for visible signs like leaning sections, loose or missing pickets, cracks, or splintered wood. Also look for water stains or soft spots at the base, which indicate rot. If your fence is near the airport or along a wind-exposed street, even minor debris impact can weaken the structure. If you notice any of these, it's best to have a professional inspect it before the next storm.

For mold and mildew, we recommend pressure washing with a mild bleach solution and applying a mildew-resistant sealant. For storm damage, we often replace damaged sections, reinforce posts, or install new panels using rot-resistant wood or vinyl. In severe cases, a full fence replacement may be more cost-effective. We always assess the specific damage and offer options that fit your budget and needs.
