Privacy Fence Installation Atlanta GA | Call Sexton’s Wood Fencing

Atlanta’s heat and humidity cause the wood in gate frames to expand and contract, loosening hinges and fasteners over time. Termite damage can also weaken the frame. Sexton’s resolves this by replacing damaged hardware, reinforcing the frame with weather-resistant screws, and adjusting or replacing sagging gates. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to prevent future issues.

Signs include small holes, sawdust, hollow-sounding wood, and visible mud tubes on fence posts or rails. If you spot these, call Sexton’s for an inspection. We remove and replace affected sections with treated wood, then seal and stain the fence to discourage future infestation. For extensive damage, we can rebuild sections or install a new fence using termite-resistant materials.

Yes, weatherproofing is crucial in Georgia’s humid climate. It seals the wood, reducing moisture absorption that causes warping, swelling, and rot—common causes of gate sagging. Sexton’s applies a high-quality stain or sealant after cleaning and repairing the fence. This protects both the structure and the gate hinges, extending their life and reducing future repairs.
