Stoney & Son Exteriors | Experienced Residential Fencing in Athens, GA

In Athens, high humidity and heavy rainfall often cause wooden privacy fence panels to absorb moisture, leading to warping, cracking, or rot. Pressure washing can remove surface mold and mildew, but if the damage is structural, Stoney & Son Exteriors recommends replacing the affected panels. They install pressure-treated wood or composite materials that better withstand local weather, and they ensure proper drainage around posts to prevent future issues.

Gate sagging is common in Athens due to loose hardware, settling posts, or the weight of the gate pulling on hinges over time. The solution involves checking and tightening all hardware, replacing worn hinges, and sometimes adding a wheel or anti-sag kit. If the post has shifted in the clay soil, Stoney & Son Exteriors can re-set or replace the post with concrete to ensure a stable, level gate that swings freely again.

If the rot is limited to a few boards or railings, Stoney & Son Exteriors can perform targeted deck repair by replacing only the damaged sections and treating the surrounding wood to prevent spread. However, if the rot has compromised the structural joists or ledger board, a full deck replacement is safer and more cost-effective in the long run. They will assess your deck's condition during a free consultation to recommend the best option for your Athens home.
