Royal Exteriors - Chesterfield's Professional Privacy Fence Installation

Common signs include visible rot, warping, or splitting wood, especially after a wet winter. You might also notice peeling paint or stain, gaps between boards, or rust on metal components. If your fence feels unstable or shows water damage near the ground, it's likely time for weatherproofing. Royal Exteriors can inspect your fence and apply a sealant or stain to protect against moisture and freeze-thaw cycles.

Check for loose or rotting boards, wobbly railings, or nails popping up. If the wood is soft or spongy in spots, that indicates rot. Large cracks, sagging, or a deck that moves when walked on are signs of structural issues. Royal Exteriors offers a free inspection to assess the damage. If the frame is sound, we can often repair just the affected boards; otherwise, a full replacement might be more cost-effective and safer.

Ice dams are a common cause. When snow melts and refreezes at the roof edge, water backs up under shingles. Also, cracked flashing around chimneys or vents can allow water in. Royal Exteriors will inspect for ice dam damage, replace damaged shingles, and seal or replace flashing. For recurring issues, we can improve attic insulation and ventilation to prevent ice dams from forming.
