Privacy Fence Installers: Best Residential Fencing Serving Shreveport, LA 71118

The high humidity in Shreveport creates ideal conditions for termites, especially in wood fences. Common signs include hollow-sounding wood, tiny mud tunnels on fence posts, and small piles of wings or droppings near the base. Our team inspects for these indicators and can replace damaged sections, treat remaining wood, or recommend termite-resistant materials like treated pine or cedar. We also offer weatherproofing treatments that help repel moisture and reduce future risk.

Gate sagging in Shreveport is usually caused by humidity swelling the wood, heavy hardware pulling on hinges, or settling posts. Signs include a gate that drags on the ground or won’t latch properly. We fix sagging by adjusting hinges, replacing worn hardware, reinforcing the frame, or adding a wheel. For automatic gates, we also check the motor alignment and track. A proper repair restores smooth operation and prevents further damage to the gate system.

Yes—any of these options will extend your fence’s life. Painting or staining adds a protective layer and enhances appearance, while weatherproofing (usually a clear sealant) repels moisture without changing the wood color. We recommend staining or weatherproofing within the first few weeks of installation for new fences. For existing fences, we can clean and prep the surface before applying the finish. Our team will help you choose the right product based on your wood type and how much sun or shade your fence gets.
