Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Rumford, ME 4276 - Pro Fence

The most common cause is freeze-thaw cycles. In Rumford, the ground freezes deep and then thaws in spring, shifting fence posts and cracking concrete. This leads to leaning or loose sections. Pro Fence can prevent this by setting posts below the frost line and using weather-resistant materials. We also recommend annual weatherproofing to seal out moisture before winter sets in.

If the rot is limited to one or two posts and the rest of the fence is in good shape, Pro Fence can replace just those posts and the damaged pickets. But if the rot has spread to multiple sections or the rails are soft, a full replacement might be more cost-effective. We’ll inspect your fence thoroughly and give you a straight answer—no pressure.

For wooden fences in Rumford, we recommend staining or painting every three to four years. Our weather—heavy snow, rain, and UV exposure in summer—breaks down finishes faster than in milder areas. Pro Fence can also apply a weatherproofing sealant after staining to add extra protection against moisture and frost damage.
