Santis Fence & Home Service - Tampa's Expert Fence Contractors

The main culprit in Tampa is the high humidity and frequent rain, which keeps wood constantly damp. This moisture creates the perfect environment for fungi and mold to grow, leading to rot. To prevent it, we recommend regular weatherproofing with a high-quality sealant or stain. At Santis Fence & Home Service, we install fences with proper drainage and treat the wood to resist moisture, giving you years of durability even in our humid climate.

Look for signs like fading color, peeling or flaking stain, and areas where the wood looks dry or gray. You might also notice water soaking into the wood instead of beading up on the surface. If you see these signs, it's time for a refresh. Our team can assess the condition, strip the old stain, and apply a fresh coat that will protect your fence from Tampa's sun and rain.

Absolutely. A sagging gate is often caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted in the ground. We can tighten or replace hardware, reinforce the frame, or even reset the post to get your gate swinging smoothly again. We serve neighborhoods from Ybor City to Westchase, and we’ll make sure your gate operates properly and securely.
