Fence Builders Wilmington NC | Call R Schaab  Builders

Wilmington’s high humidity, frequent rain, and salty air from the coast accelerate moisture absorption in wood, leading to rot. Termites are also common in this region, especially in untreated lumber. R Schaab Builders recommends using pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods like cedar, and applying sealants to protect against the local climate.

Look for soft or spongy areas at the base of posts, discoloration, flaking paint, or visible fungus. If a post wobbles or the wood crumbles easily, it’s likely rotted. R Schaab Builders can inspect your fence and recommend targeted repairs or full replacement, ensuring your property stays secure and attractive.

We provide expert carpentry services including replacing rotted posts and rails, reinforcing gates, and installing new fence sections. For severe damage, we can rebuild the entire fence using materials suited for the coastal environment. Our team also offers handyman repairs for minor issues, keeping your fence functional and safe year-round.
