The main cause is prolonged exposure to moisture from humid summers and snowmelt in winter. When water seeps into untreated wood or around post bases, it promotes rot and fungal growth. Poor drainage and ground contact accelerate the issue. Our repair and replacement services use pressure-treated lumber and proper gravel bases to prevent moisture buildup.

Common signs include leaning posts, rotted wood at ground level, cracked or splintered boards, and gates that stick or sag. If only a few sections are damaged, we can repair them. Widespread rot or structural instability usually calls for full replacement. We offer free inspections to assess your fence's condition and recommend the right solution.

Sagging gates often result from loose hinges, a settling post, or a heavy gate pulling the frame out of square. We can tighten hardware, replace hinges, or reset the post with concrete. For gates that are beyond repair, we install new manual or automatic gates with reinforced frames and self-closing hinges to ensure smooth operation.
