Rush Home Improvement - Woodstock's Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing

In Woodstock, the freeze-thaw cycle can cause moisture to get trapped under stain, leading to peeling. We prep the wood by power washing and letting it dry completely before applying a high-quality, UV-resistant stain. We also recommend a second coat in spring to seal any cracks that formed over winter.

For yards with slopes, we often build multi-level decks or incorporate step-down sections to follow the natural grade. This not only works with the land but also provides distinct spaces for dining or lounging. We use corrosion-resistant hardware and pressure-treated lumber to handle the moisture from nearby waterways.

We inspect the hinges and posts for alignment, replace any rusted hardware with self-lubricating stainless steel, and add a one-inch gravel base under the gate to prevent ice from locking it in place.
