Question Answers
How can I protect my fence from Rutland’s harsh winters?
Vermont winters can be tough on fences—snow load, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles cause warping, rot, and loosened posts. We recommend weatherproofing treatments like sealants and stains, plus using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods. For existing fences, our weatherproofing service includes cleaning, sanding, and applying a protective coat. We also advise checking for snow buildup near the base and clearing it gently to prevent damage.
What types of custom fences do you build?
We build fences to match any style—from classic cedar picket to modern horizontal slat, privacy fences, and decorative wrought-iron designs. You choose the wood type, height, spacing, and stain or paint color. We also construct custom gates, including automatic openers for driveways. All fences are built on-site by our experienced team, ensuring a perfect fit for your property.
I have a gate that won’t close properly—can you repair it?
Yes, we repair all types of gates, including sagging, sticking, or broken hinges. Often issues are due to weather-related swelling or settling posts. We’ll adjust the alignment, replace hardware if needed, and reinforce the gate to prevent future problems. Serving all of Rutland, we typically handle repairs within a few days.
