STL Fence and Deck | Expert Privacy Fence Installation in St. Louis, MO

For St. Louis’s humid summers and freezing winters, we often suggest composite or vinyl decking. These materials resist moisture, warping, and insect damage better than wood. However, if you prefer a natural look, we can use treated lumber with proper sealing. We’ll assess your yard’s sun exposure and drainage to recommend the best option for durability.

It depends on the damage. We’ll inspect for rot, loose boards, or structural issues. If the framing is sound, we can replace individual boards, reinforce posts, and add new railings. But if the deck is over 15 years old or has widespread rot, replacement might be safer and more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment during a free consultation.

That’s a common issue here due to our clay soil and heavy rainfall. We set posts below the frost line (about 30 inches) and use concrete footings for stability. We also ensure proper drainage around the posts and use galvanized hardware to resist rust. This keeps your fence straight and sturdy even after storms.
