Rawhide Fencing & Decks - Cheyenne's Trusted Fence Builders

The primary cause is moisture trapped between deck boards and the substructure, especially after heavy snow and spring melt. In Cheyenne, freeze-thaw cycles worsen this, causing wood to expand and contract, leading to cracks where water seeps in. This creates an environment for rot and fungal growth, weakening the deck. Our replacement and repair services use properly spaced, treated lumber and advanced fasteners to prevent moisture buildup and ensure long-term stability.

Look for loose or wobbly railings, spongy or rotting boards, visible splits, and nails popping up. If you see significant discoloration or mold, or if the deck sways when you walk on it, it's time for professional assessment. Rawhide Fencing & Decks inspects your deck's structure and footing, addressing these issues before they become safety hazards. Prompt repair prevents costly full replacement later.

Our process involves removing the old deck and assessing the existing frame for damage. We then install new, pressure-treated lumber and composite options that resist moisture and snow damage. We use galvanized fasteners and proper joist spacing to handle Cheyenne's heavy snow loads and strong winds. Our work includes addressing drainage around the deck and ensuring proper attachment to the house, often near areas like Lions Park or the Historic District, to meet local building codes and withstand our climate.
