Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence post instability after storms in Chipley?
The primary cause is the sandy, loose soil common in Washington County, which shifts during heavy rains and winds. Posts not set deep enough or with inadequate concrete footings can lean or loosen. Owens Custom Builds recommends setting posts at least 24-30 inches deep with expanded concrete bases to prevent movement.
How can I tell if my deck needs repair or replacement?
Signs include rotting or splintering wood, wobbly railings, nails popping up, or visible sagging. Check for soft spots by probing with a screwdriver. If the damage is limited to a few boards, repair may suffice. If the structure is compromised (e.g., joists rotting), replacement is safer. Our carpenters can assess and advise.
What are the best materials to prevent fence discoloration from UV exposure in Florida?
For Chipley's intense sun, choose PVC, vinyl, or aluminum fences that resist fading. If you prefer wood, use cedar or pressure-treated pine with a UV-resistant stain or paint, and reapply every 2-3 years. Owens Custom Builds can install these materials to keep your fence looking great longer.
