Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to erode so quickly in Centerville, and how can Sms Construction prevent it?
The combination of hot, dry summers and heavy rain in spring can loosen the soil around fence posts, leading to rot and shifting. At Sms Construction, we backfill with compacted soil and gravel for drainage, and we set posts in concrete when needed. This keeps your fence stable even during wet spells near the creek bottoms around Centerville.
My fence boards are cracking from the sun—what are the signs it’s time for replacement or weatherproofing?
If you see splits wider than a quarter inch, splintering edges, or paint that peels in sheets, the wood is drying out. We offer fence weatherproofing with UV-blocking stain, and if boards are already cracked, we’ll replace them before sealing. For homes along the rolling hills near Centerville High School, this treatment can add years to a fence’s life.
Can Sms Construction handle both excavation for a new building addition and installing a matching fence at the same time?
Absolutely. We coordinate our excavation crew—digging trenches and compacting soil for the addition—with our fencing team, so your new room and perimeter fence are built together. We’ve done this on many properties off Highway 75, ensuring the fence line matches the new slab height and drainage slope.
