Mrs.Pickets - Lafayette's Professional Fencing Company

Fence post rot in Lafayette is primarily caused by constant moisture from heavy rains, humidity, and poor drainage around the base. Mrs. Pickets addresses this by using pressure-treated wood or rot-resistant materials like cedar, and they install posts with proper gravel drainage to prevent water pooling. They also offer concrete setting techniques that protect the post from ground moisture, extending your fence's life even in our damp climate.

Gate lock failures in Lafayette often result from rust and corrosion due to high humidity, or from misalignment caused by shifting posts from moisture. Mrs. Pickets recommends using stainless steel or galvanized locks designed for wet environments. They can also realign your gate, reinforce the hinges, and replace rotted posts to ensure the lock engages properly every time.

Absolutely. A sagging gate that won't latch is a common issue in Lafayette due to post rot or heavy gate weight. Mrs. Pickets will first inspect the posts for rot near the ground, then either reinforce or replace them. They also adjust hinges and install tension cables to lift and secure the gate, ensuring it latches smoothly. They serve the entire Lafayette area, including neighborhoods near the Oil Center and along Johnston Street.
