Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main signs that my Suffolk fence needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include leaning or sagging sections, cracked or splintered wood, rusted nails or hinges, and visible rot near the base of posts—especially common in Suffolk’s humid climate. If your gate sags or won’t latch properly, that’s also a clear sign of wear. Robinsons General Services can inspect your fence and recommend whether a targeted repair or full replacement is the best long-term solution.
How can a carpenter fix a fence that keeps rotting in Suffolk’s humid weather?
Our carpenters start by removing all rotted wood and treating the soil around posts with a moisture barrier. We then replace damaged sections with pressure-treated lumber or rot-resistant materials like cedar or composite. For new installations, we set posts in concrete with proper drainage to prevent future moisture damage. This approach extends your fence’s life and saves you from repeated repairs.
Do you also install or repair gates as part of your fencing services?
Absolutely. We build and repair all types of gates—from single walk-through gates to wide driveway gates. Whether your current gate is sticking, dragging, or the hinges are rusted, our team can adjust the frame, replace hardware, or build a custom gate that matches your fence. We serve neighborhoods across Suffolk, including Bennett’s Creek and Sleepy Hole, ensuring your gate opens smoothly every time.
