Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my fence posts lean after heavy rain, and how can Timber Creations fix it?
Heavy rain saturates Cottonwood's sandy or clay soil, causing fence posts set in shallow concrete or dirt to shift and lean. This is a common sign of improper post installation. Timber Creations solves this by digging deeper post holes (typically 24-30 inches), using gravel at the base for drainage, and setting posts in concrete that extends below the frost line. This method prevents water pooling, keeps posts stable, and stops leaning for good.
What are the signs that my deck needs repair or replacement in Cottonwood?
Key signs include rotting or splintering wood, loose railings, nails popping up, or a bouncy feel when walking. In Cottonwood's humid climate, water damage accelerates decay. Timber Creations inspects your deck for structural integrity. If the joists or support beams are sound, we can repair damaged boards and reinforce connections. If rot is widespread or the deck is unsafe, we recommend a full replacement with pressure-treated lumber or composite materials to ensure longevity.
Can you repair damaged privacy fence panels without replacing the whole fence?
Absolutely. If only a few panels are damaged from storms, falling branches, or age, Timber Creations can replace just those sections. We match the existing style, wood type, and stain as closely as possible. For fences with leaning posts, we may need to reset the posts first to ensure the new panels stay straight. This targeted repair saves you money and extends the life of your fence, keeping your backyard private and secure.
