FAQs
What causes my fence to lean or sag, and how can Scherr Construction fix it?
Leaning or sagging fences are often caused by rotted posts, loose footings, or soil erosion from rain and snow, common in Keyser's climate. Over time, ground movement near landmarks like the Potomac River can weaken supports. Scherr Construction can repair or replace damaged posts, re-set footings, and reinforce the structure. If the fence is beyond repair, we offer full fence installation using durable materials and weatherproofing techniques to prevent future issues.
My wood fence has peeling paint and signs of rot. Should I repaint or replace it?
Peeling paint and rot are common signs of moisture damage, especially in Keyser's humid summers and wet winters. Scherr Construction will first assess the extent of the rot. If rot is limited, we can repair the affected boards, sand the surface, and apply a fresh stain or paint to protect the wood. We also offer weatherproofing services to seal the fence against future moisture. If the damage is widespread, replacement siding or fencing may be more cost-effective in the long run.
How do I know if my siding needs repair or full replacement?
Signs that siding needs attention include visible cracks, warping, mold growth, or higher energy bills from drafts. In Keyser, repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause siding to expand and contract, leading to gaps. Scherr Construction will inspect your siding for these issues. If damage is localized, we may only need to repair a section. However, if more than 30% of your siding is compromised or if moisture has reached the sheathing, a full replacement will provide better insulation and long-term protection for your home.
