Common Questions
My wooden fence in Keizer is starting to rot at the bottom. What’s the cause, and how can you fix it?
This is a common sign of moisture damage, often caused by the damp, cool soil we have in Keizer. When fence posts and bottom rails are in constant contact with wet ground, they absorb water, leading to rot and warping. Our solution is to first assess the damage. If the rot is limited, we can repair the affected sections and then apply a professional-grade weatherproofing sealant to protect the wood. For severely damaged posts, we may recommend replacing them with pressure-treated lumber or installing gravel for better drainage to prevent future issues.
I see cracking and peeling paint on my fence. Is this normal for Keizer weather, and do you offer painting or staining?
Yes, the constant freeze-thaw cycles and high moisture levels in Keizer are tough on fence paint. Moisture gets behind the paint, causing it to crack and peel. It’s a clear sign your fence needs maintenance. We provide fence painting and staining services as part of our complete care. The process involves cleaning the surface, sanding down peeling areas, and applying a high-quality, weather-resistant stain or paint that bonds well. This restores the look and, more importantly, seals the wood against future moisture intrusion.
What’s the best type of fence material for a property near Keizer Station that can handle the wet weather?
Given the moisture levels in Keizer, we often recommend cedar, vinyl, or pressure-treated wood for durability. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, while vinyl won’t rot or warp. For a natural wood look with maximum weather resistance, we can install a cedar fence with a professional stain. However, our experts can also design a custom solution including a concrete base for your posts to keep them above ground level and dry. We’ll visit your property near Keizer Station to assess the specific drainage and sun exposure, ensuring your fence lasts for years.
