Question Answers

My wooden fence near the Missouri River is showing signs of rot and peeling paint. What’s causing this, and how can Milliken’s help?

Saint Joseph’s humidity and temperature swings—especially close to the river—can cause wood to absorb moisture, leading to rot and paint failure. Our team assesses the damage, then we can repair or replace affected sections. We also offer professional fence painting, staining, and weatherproofing services to seal the wood against future moisture. If rot is extensive, we can install a new, more durable fence that fits your property and budget.

My automatic gate in the Heartland neighborhood keeps sticking halfway. Is this something you can fix?

Yes. Sticking gates often result from misaligned tracks, worn hinges, or sensor issues. Our technicians inspect the entire system—including the motor, sensors, and gate structure. We’ll repair or adjust the components, and if the gate is old or damaged, we can install a new automatic or manual gate. Our goal is to make sure your gate opens and closes smoothly every time.

I need a new privacy fence but I’m worried about how it will hold up to Saint Joseph’s storms. Can you recommend a solution?

Absolutely. For lasting results in our local climate, we often recommend pressure-treated wood or vinyl fencing, both properly installed with weatherproofing. We can also add wind-resistant bracing and use galvanized hardware. If you prefer wood, we’ll stain and seal it to protect against moisture and UV damage. We’ll work with you to choose materials and a design that fits your needs and the local weather conditions.
