Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in Louisville, KY 40018 - Ochs Fencing

Louisville's humid summers and frequent freeze-thaw cycles cause moisture to get trapped in deck boards, leading to rot and decay. Ochs Fencing addresses this during deck construction by using pressure-treated lumber and proper spacing for drainage. We also offer deck repair services to replace damaged boards and seal the surface, preventing future moisture intrusion.

Signs that your deck needs replacement include widespread rot, loose or wobbly railings, and nails popping up. If more than 30% of the deck structure is compromised, replacement is safer and more cost-effective. Ochs Fencing provides a free inspection in Louisville neighborhoods like the Highlands or St. Matthews to assess damage and recommend the best solution.

Yes! Pressure washing removes dirt, mold, and mildew that trap moisture and accelerate decay. Ochs Fencing recommends pressure washing your deck and fence in early fall, especially after Louisville's humid summers. We then apply a protective sealant to shield against winter's freeze-thaw cycles, helping your outdoor structures last longer.
