Commercial Fencing Christiansburg VA | Call Smith's Fencing & Lawn Care

Rot at the base of fence posts is typically caused by ground moisture and lack of drainage, a common issue in Christiansburg's clay soil. Smith's can repair these sections by replacing rotted posts and adding gravel for drainage. They can also apply a weatherproofing sealant to protect the remaining wood and prevent future rot, extending the fence's life significantly.

Heavy rain can lead to water damage in electrical components or rust on the gate's hinges and track. A common sign is the gate not responding to the remote or opening very slowly. Smith's can diagnose whether it's a simple sensor adjustment, a damaged motor, or a stuck track. They repair most automatic gate models and can weatherproof the system to prevent future rain-related issues.

For Christiansburg's mix of humidity, snow, and summer sun, pressure-treated pine or vinyl fences are durable choices. Smith's installs both. They can also stain or paint a new wooden fence to add an extra layer of protection. They will evaluate your yard's grade and soil to ensure posts are set deep enough to withstand winter frost heaves and heavy winds common in the area.
