Residential Fencing Braintree VT | Call Skeeters Contractors

In Braintree, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow cause the ground to shift, which can loosen fence posts. Moisture from snowmelt also leads to wood rot if posts aren't treated or set properly. Skeeters Contractors prevents this by using pressure-treated posts, gravel bases, and concrete footings below the frost line.

Signs include leaning posts, cracked or splintered rails, loose gates, and rotted wood near the ground. If more than a few posts are affected, replacement may be more cost-effective. Skeeters offers free inspections in Braintree to assess damage and recommend the best solution.

For durability, Skeeters suggests vinyl or metal fencing that resists moisture and warping. For wood fences, they use cedar or pressure-treated lumber with waterproof sealants. All posts are set deep and braced to prevent shifting. They also offer custom gate designs that won't sag over time.
