Fence Builders Lincoln NE | Call Prideful Builders Way

Lincoln experiences humid summers and freezing winters, which trap moisture in wood. Over time, this leads to rot, especially at ground level and in fence posts. Poor drainage and lack of sealant accelerate the problem. Prideful Builders Way recommends pressure-treated or cedar wood with proper waterproofing to extend fence life.

Look for soft or spongy spots on the wood, leaning posts, cracked rails, or missing boards. If rot is limited to a few sections, repair may be enough. But if more than 30% of the fence is damaged or posts are shifting due to frost heave, replacement is often more cost-effective. Our team can inspect and give honest advice.

After a heavy snow or ice storm, check for broken boards and loosened nails. For minor damage, we can replace individual pickets and reinforce connections. For widespread issues, we recommend upgrading to a more wind-resistant design, like board-on-board with galvanized hardware. Prideful Builders Way also offers seasonal maintenance to prevent future storm damage.
