Frequently Asked Questions
What types of wood do you use for fence installation and repair in Lexington?
We specialize in durable, locally preferred woods like cedar and treated pine for both picket and privacy fences. These materials resist moisture and insects common in Central Kentucky's climate. For custom gates and farm plank fencing, we match the wood type to your existing fence or property style. All materials are sourced to withstand Lexington's seasonal weather.
Do you handle automatic gate repair for properties in neighborhoods like Chevy Chase?
Yes, we repair both automatic and manual gates across Lexington, including homes in Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, and near the University of Kentucky. As an owner-operator with a background in emergency services, I prioritize safety and reliability in all gate repairs, ensuring your gate opens and closes smoothly and securely.
How do you address the frequent fencing problem of wood rot and weathering in Lexington's humid climate?
Wood rot and weathering are common issues here due to humidity and temperature swings. We combat this by offering fence weatherproofing services using high-quality sealants and stains. During repairs, we replace rotted sections with treated lumber and properly seal all joints. For new installations, we recommend periodic staining to extend your fence's life, especially for homes near the Kentucky River or areas with poor drainage.
