Thomas Fence Install & Repair - Gaston's Trusted Fence Contractors

Rot near the bottom of a wood fence is often caused by moisture buildup from rain or sprinklers, combined with poor drainage. In Gaston's humid climate, this can happen quickly if the wood isn't properly treated. We can usually repair the affected sections by removing only the damaged boards and posts, treating the area, and replacing them with weather-resistant lumber. We also offer fence weatherproofing services to prevent future rot, including sealing and staining to protect against moisture.

A grinding noise and intermittent operation are common signs of worn gears, a loose chain, or a failing motor in your automatic gate system. It could also point to debris stuck in the track or misaligned sensors. These issues are repairable without needing a full gate replacement. We can inspect the gate, replace worn components, and recalibrate the system so it runs smoothly again. If you hear grinding, it's best to call us sooner rather than later to avoid a complete motor burnout.

For privacy in Gaston, we recommend either vinyl fencing or pressure-treated wood fencing with proper weatherproofing. Vinyl is highly durable, resists moisture and rot, and requires little maintenance. Wood offers a classic look and can be very long-lasting if stained and sealed against our humid summers and occasional storms. We install both types and can advise on the best option for your specific yard and budget. We also ensure gates are properly mounted to prevent sagging over time.
