Prime Time Custom Carpentry - Colorado Springs's Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Leaning is often caused by snow load pushing against rotted or loosened posts—common in Colorado Springs’ freeze-thaw cycles. Signs include gaps at the bottom or a visible tilt. Our solution involves replacing affected posts with pressure-treated lumber set in concrete, then realigning the fence panels. We also check for dry rot in rails and pickets, ensuring your fence stands strong through next winter.

Look for spongy or splintered wood, loose railings, or rusted fasteners—these indicate moisture damage from snowmelt and summer rains. In neighborhoods like Old Colorado City, we often see deck boards cupping or nails popping. We inspect joists and ledger boards, replace damaged sections, and reinforce connections. Catching these signs early saves you from costly full replacements.

If more than 30% of the deck structure—joists, beams, or posts—shows rot or cracking, replacement is more cost-effective. Signs include widespread soft spots, sagging, or insect damage. For decks built before 2010, materials may not meet current code for snow loads. We assess your deck’s age and condition, then recommend either targeted repair or a full rebuild using modern, weather-resistant materials like composite.
