Norm Atlanta | Experienced Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Stone Mountain, GA

Fence posts in Stone Mountain often rot prematurely due to the region's dense, moisture-retaining clay soil. This soil traps water around the base of the post, leading to wood decay. Norm Atlanta solves this by replacing rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or setting posts in concrete with proper gravel drainage, ensuring they stay dry and stable. For existing fences, we can also weatherproof the posts and apply a protective sealant to extend their life.

If you see soft or spongy spots on your deck boards, noticeable cracks or splits, loose railings, or visible rot near the house attachment point, those are signs of structural issues that staining alone can't fix. Norm Atlanta inspects the entire structure, including joists and beams. We can repair isolated damage, but if the rot is widespread or the deck wobbles, replacement is often safer and more cost-effective in the long run.

Mold thrives on fences here because of our hot, humid summers and shade from mature trees. Norm Atlanta recommends an annual cleaning with a gentle bleach solution or a wood-specific cleaner. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality, mold-resistant stain or sealer. If mold has already deeply penetrated the wood, we can power wash it, sand affected areas, and then apply a weatherproofing treatment that includes a mildewcide. Proper air circulation around the fence also helps.
