Premier Fence & Deck | Deck Construction & Repair in Tallahassee, FL

Vinyl fence wind damage is often caused by sudden gusts during thunderstorms or hurricanes, which can stress the panels and loosen the posts. Common signs include cracked rails, leaning sections, or posts pulling out of the ground. For repairs, we reinforce posts with concrete footings and use wind-rated brackets. If the damage is extensive, we recommend replacing the affected panels with thicker-gauge vinyl or switching to a more wind-resistant material like aluminum.

Loose fence posts are usually the result of Tallahassee's sandy, well-draining soil combined with heavy rain, which can wash away support over time. You might notice your gate sagging or the fence wobbling when you push it. Our solution involves removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it with a wider concrete base. For decks, we also check for rot or termites in the framing to ensure the whole structure stays solid.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If only a few boards are cracked or the railing is loose, we can usually repair it by replacing those sections and reinforcing the joists. However, if the posts are rotted, the ledger board is pulling away from the house, or the deck is over 15 years old, replacement is often safer and more cost-effective in the long run. We’ll inspect the structure and give you a straightforward recommendation.
