Local Residential Fencing in Metairie, LA 70002 - R&P CONSTRUCTION

The humid subtropical climate and frequent rain in Metairie cause wood fence posts to absorb moisture, leading to rot and fungal decay within a few years. Storm debris from hurricanes can also crack or loosen posts. R&P CONSTRUCTION recommends using pressure-treated wood or vinyl posts with concrete footings to extend lifespan. We inspect the soil drainage and can retrofit existing fences with post anchors to prevent future sinking.

After a storm, look for leaning or detached panels, cracked rails, loose hinges on gates, and visible debris embedded in the wood. If your fence has gaps at the bottom or the gate drags, storm damage may have shifted the posts. R&P CONSTRUCTION offers free on-site assessments in Metairie to identify hidden structural issues, such as weakened concrete footings or split posts, before they worsen.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If only a few pickets or a single section are broken, we can replace those pieces and reinforce the surrounding structure. For widespread damage—like multiple snapped posts or a shifted frame—replacement of the affected sections is more cost-effective. R&P CONSTRUCTION uses matching materials and stains to blend repairs seamlessly. We also offer storm-resistant upgrades, such as stronger gate hardware and heavier-gauge metal posts.
