Simcoe Services | Best Privacy Fence Installation in Aurora, CO

Aurora’s high-altitude sun and rapid freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprits. Intense UV rays dry out the wood, causing it to shrink and crack, while moisture from snow and rain seeps into the wood, then freezes and expands. This repeated cycle warps and splits fence boards faster than in milder climates. Simcoe Services addresses this by selecting pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods and using proper sealing techniques. We also recommend a high-quality stain or paint with UV protection to shield your fence from sun damage and slow this process down significantly.

That’s a common sign of gate sag, often caused by the weight of the gate pulling on hinges that have loosened from freeze-thaw movement, or by the gate post leaning due to soil shifting. It’s not just annoying—it can also be a security issue. Simcoe Services can fix this by tightening or replacing hinges, adjusting the gate post, or adding a wheel or anti-sag kit. If the gate is beyond repair, we can install a new, properly braced gate that stays square and latches smoothly, even through Colorado seasons.

If your deck boards are splintering, the structure feels bouncy, or you see rot in the posts or ledger board (the piece attached to your house), a repair might not be enough. In Aurora, snow load and dry rot from sun exposure can weaken the frame over time. If more than 30% of the deck structure is damaged, or if the footings have shifted from frost heave, full replacement is often safer and more cost-effective in the long run. Simcoe Services will inspect your deck—joists, posts, and connections—and give you an honest assessment. We offer both repairs and complete tear-outs and replacements with modern, durable materials.
