Metalsmith Designs: Professional Fencing Company Serving Fort Myers, FL 33966

Wood fence rot in Fort Myers is primarily caused by constant exposure to humidity, rain, and poor drainage. This leads to moisture absorption that weakens the wood over time. When rot is severe, deck replacement with materials like composite or treated lumber eliminates the problem entirely, providing a long-lasting solution that resists decay and warping.

Signs include isolated soft spots, small areas of rot, loose boards, or rusted fasteners. If damage is limited to a few boards or supports and the underlying structure is solid, deck repair can restore function and safety at a lower cost. However, widespread rot or sagging often indicates a need for full replacement.

We address warped fence boards by replacing them with materials suited for the local climate, such as cedar or vinyl that resist moisture. Our installation techniques include proper spacing and sealing to prevent future warping, ensuring your fence remains straight and sturdy despite the humidity.
