Common Questions
What causes fence damage after a storm in Saint Gabriel, and how can Southern Legacy fix it?
Strong winds and flying debris from storms common along the Mississippi River corridor often crack fence boards, loosen posts, or knock entire sections down. Southern Legacy inspects the damage, replaces broken boards or damaged posts, and re-anchors the fence. They also offer weatherproofing services—sealing wood and applying rust-resistant coatings on metal gates—to help your fence withstand future storms.
How can I tell if termites have damaged my wooden deck or fence, and what repair options do you offer?
Look for small piles of sawdust near the base of posts, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, or mud tubes on the surface. If you suspect termite damage, Southern Legacy can assess the extent, replace affected sections of deck boards, fence rails, or gate panels, and recommend treatments to prevent reinfestation. They also install pressure-treated lumber or composite materials that are less appealing to termites.
Do you install automatic gates for properties near the Allendale area, and can you repair existing ones?
Yes, Southern Legacy installs both automatic and manual gates throughout Saint Gabriel, including neighborhoods around Allendale and near LA-74. They handle everything from sliding driveway gates to swing gates with keypad or remote access. If your automatic gate isn’t opening smoothly or the motor is failing, they can repair the mechanism, replace sensors, or upgrade the opener system to improve reliability.
