Frequently Asked Questions
Why do wood fences in Jackson, MO rot faster than in other areas?
The main cause is the region’s high humidity combined with rapid temperature shifts. Moisture seeps into untreated wood, and freeze-thaw cycles cause cracking and decay. Southern Mo Fencing recommends annual weatherproofing with a quality sealant or stain to block moisture and extend the life of your fence.
What signs indicate my fence needs painting or staining?
Look for peeling paint, faded color, bare wood spots, or a rough texture. If water no longer beads on the surface, the protective layer has worn off. Catching this early prevents rot and warping. Our team can assess your fence and recommend the right stain or paint for Jackson’s climate.
How do you repair a fence damaged by a storm or strong wind?
We first inspect for loose posts, cracked rails, or broken pickets. For storm damage, we often replace damaged sections, reset leaning posts with concrete, and reinforce connections. After repairs, we can apply weatherproofing to protect against future storms. Our goal is to restore both function and appearance.
