North Georgia Fence & Gates: Local Fence Builders Serving Cumming, GA 30040

The primary cause is the local climate. Cumming experiences high humidity and heavy rainfall, which can cause wood to absorb moisture and swell. Then, during dry periods, the wood shrinks, leading to warping and cracking. Clay soil movement can also put pressure on fence posts, contributing to the problem. North Georgia Fence & Gates can inspect your fence to identify the specific cause and recommend solutions.

Common signs include visible warping or cracking in the pickets or boards, rot or decay at the base of posts, loose or rusted nails or screws, and gates that stick or sag. If you notice peeling paint or stain, that's also a sign the wood is no longer protected. If you see any of these issues, it's time to call North Georgia Fence & Gates for a professional assessment and repair or weatherproofing service.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection. For warped boards, we can often re-secure them or replace individual pickets. For cracked or rotted sections, we'll remove and replace the damaged wood, ensuring proper fit and alignment. We also offer fence painting or staining to seal the wood and prevent future weather damage. If the problem is widespread, a full fence replacement might be the most cost-effective solution. We'll walk you through all the options.
