Fence Installation Ashtabula OH | Call Old Fashioned Fence & Deck

Due to our humid summers and freezing winters, common signs include rotting or splintering wood, loose or rusted fasteners, wobbly railings, and boards that feel spongy underfoot. If you notice any of these issues, especially after a harsh winter near Lake Erie, it's time to call Old Fashioned Fence & Deck for an inspection.

The freeze-thaw cycle can cause ground heave and moisture damage, leading to cracked posts, shifting foundations, and warped deck boards. Our construction methods account for this by using pressure-treated lumber, proper drainage, and deep-set posts to ensure your deck remains stable and safe through every season.

Often, we can replace individual damaged boards or sections if the underlying structure is still sound. However, if the rot has spread to the joists or support posts, a full replacement may be safer and more cost-effective in the long run. We'll assess your deck and give you an honest recommendation.
