Q&A
My privacy fence took a beating in the last windstorm near the Arkansas River. Can you repair wind damage to wood fences in Fort Smith?
Absolutely. Wind damage is a common issue here, especially for privacy fences exposed to gusts coming off the river. We assess the damage on-site—whether it's loose posts, cracked panels, or sections that have fallen over. For wood fences, we can often replace individual pickets and reset or reinforce posts. If the damage is extensive, we'll discuss rebuilding those sections with materials and installation methods better suited to Fort Smith's wind conditions. We serve all neighborhoods from the historic district to newer areas like Chaffee Crossing.
What types of fencing materials do you install, and which is best for my property near the River Valley?
We install wood, aluminum, and wrought iron fencing. For homeowners near the Arkansas River or in areas with high wind, aluminum is a low-maintenance and durable option. Wood gives you that classic privacy fence look, but we recommend proper sealing and weatherproofing to extend its life. Wrought iron is great for security and curb appeal. During your free estimate, we walk your property, discuss your goals, and recommend the material that fits your needs, budget, and the local climate.
The stain on my fence near Zero Street is peeling and looks faded. Can you handle fence staining and painting for existing fences?
Yes, we offer fencing staining and painting services for both new installations and existing fences. Over time, the sun and humidity in the Fort Smith area can break down stain and paint, especially on fences exposed to the elements. We'll pressure wash your fence to remove dirt and old, flaking finish, then apply a high-quality stain or paint that's formulated for our climate. This service is available for wood fences in all parts of Fort Smith, including neighborhoods near the mall or by the river.
