Wood and Vinyl Fencing Blaine WA | Call Riensche Construction

The main cause is moisture fluctuation—our damp winters and dry summer spells make untreated or low-grade lumber expand and contract unevenly. This leads to cupping, twisting, or bowing. Riensche Construction recommends using pressure-treated or cedar boards with proper spacing and sealant. If warping has already occurred, we can replace individual boards or the entire section to restore your fence’s appearance and function.

Look for signs like sagging panels, cracked or splintered wood, loose nails, or gaps that let in light. If the frame (rails and posts) is still solid, we can often swap out just the damaged slats. But if posts are rotting or the panel is severely warped, a full replacement may be more cost-effective. Our team will inspect and give you a straightforward assessment—no pressure to replace what can be fixed.

Yes, we handle both fences and decks as a full-service contractor. Sometimes a failing fence can cause water to pool against a deck, leading to rot or loose railings. We’ll repair or replace any affected deck boards, joists, or railing sections. Our deck services include everything from simple repairs to complete rebuilds, ensuring your outdoor living area stays safe and looks great.
