Preservation Specialist | Experienced Privacy Fence Installation in Brandon, MS

Look for peeling paint, soft spots, or discoloration near the base. In Brandon’s humid climate, wood can start to rot within a few years if not treated. Also check for small holes or sawdust, which indicate wood-boring insects. Catching these signs early can prevent major damage and save you money.

We start by removing all rotted or infested wood, then treat the surrounding area with a borate-based preservative to stop further insect activity. For structural repairs, we replace damaged posts or rails with pressure-treated lumber, and apply a water-resistant sealant. Finally, we match the finish to your existing fence for a seamless look.

Often a sagging gate can be saved. We tighten hardware, replace worn hinges, and sometimes add a diagonal brace to realign the frame. If the wood is still solid, we can reinforce it and apply a preservative. Only if the gate is structurally unsound or severely rotted would we recommend a replacement. We’ll inspect it free of charge and give you an honest opinion.
