Nicholas Lamonica - Lakeland's Reliable Privacy Fence Installation

The main cause is soil erosion and water pooling around the base of the posts. Lakeland often sees significant rainfall, and when the ground becomes saturated, the soil can wash away from the post. Over time, this leads to instability, rot, and leaning. If the post is set in concrete, water can also collect at the base, promoting wood decay. Nicholas Lamonica can inspect your fence, evaluate post integrity, and recommend repairs or replacements to restore stability.

Look for warped or bowed panels, cracked wood, or gaps between fence boards. Vines can wrap around pickets and pull them out of alignment, while tree roots can lift or shift posts out of level. You might also notice that certain sections of the fence no longer open or latch correctly. If you see these signs, it’s best to have a professional assess the damage. Nicholas Lamonica can trim back encroaching growth and reinforce weakened areas during a fence repair visit.

Yes, regular power washing can remove mildew, algae, and dirt that trap moisture against wood, which accelerates rot and decay. It also reveals areas of damage you might not notice otherwise. After washing, sealing or painting the fence provides an added layer of protection against future water intrusion. Nicholas Lamonica offers pressure washing specifically for fences and gates, followed by painting or sealing services to keep your fence durable through Lakeland's humid weather.
