St. Louis Fence & Gate - Chesterfield's Best Residential Fencing

Wood rot in fences is mainly caused by moisture, mold, and insects. In Chesterfield’s humid summers and rainy springs, it’s common. A sign is soft, dark, or crumbly wood. We can repair rotted sections or replace damaged boards, then apply weatherproofing to protect against future moisture.

Common causes are a worn motor, misaligned tracks, or a loose chain. Also, dirt in the track or a dying battery can slow it down. We can diagnose and repair the issue, from adjusting the track to replacing the motor or battery. For Chesterfield homeowners near Kehrs Mill Road, fast repair keeps your property secure.

The key is proper preparation: cleaning, sanding, and using a high-quality stain or paint designed for exterior wood. We apply a primer first for paint or use a stain that penetrates the wood. For fences in Chesterfield’s shade or sun, we recommend a product that resists UV fading and moisture. We handle the whole process to ensure a finish that lasts.
