Fences & Gates, Decks & Railing in Tallahassee | Tom Dalebroux Home Improvements

Additionally, roots from nearby trees or shrubs can push against posts, causing them to lean. Tom Dalebroux Home Improvements and Repairs addresses this by inspecting the base, replacing rotted sections, and weatherproofing the wood to prevent future damage.

Signs include wobbling when pressure is applied, visible cracks or splits in the wood, rusted screws or nails, and gaps between the railing and the deck. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a repair or replacement. Tom’s team can assess the structure and reinforce or replace the railing to meet safety standards.

Tom Dalebroux offers professional painting and staining services that extend the life of your fence and keep it looking great.
