Fence Builders Richmond KY | Call Mr Old Fence Man

Richmond's high humidity, frequent rain, and seasonal temperature swings accelerate moisture absorption in wood. Poor drainage around fence posts or lack of protective sealant leads to rot within a few years. We address this by using treated lumber, proper post-setting with gravel for drainage, and applying high-quality weatherproofing stains that repel water and UV rays.

Look for peeling or blistered paint, splintering wood, soft or discolored spots near the ground, loose or leaning posts, and rusty nails or screws. If you notice any of these, prompt repair and a fresh coat of stain or paint can prevent further damage. We offer free inspections and can recommend the best solution for your fence's condition.

Absolutely. Automatic gates require careful planning for sloped driveways to ensure proper swing or slide operation. We assess the grade, install heavy-duty hinges or track systems, and use adjustable arms or linear actuators to compensate for the slope. Our installations meet safety standards and are built to handle the local terrain.
