Commercial Fencing Union KY | Call Toro Carpenter

The main cause is prolonged exposure to moisture from high humidity, rain, and snow. Wood that isn’t properly sealed or treated absorbs water, leading to fungal decay and rot. Poor drainage around posts and inadequate airflow under decks also accelerate damage. Regular inspections and proper sealing can prevent this.

Look for leaning sections, loose or broken boards, visible rot at the base of posts, and rusted nails or screws. If the wood feels soft or crumbles when touched, it’s likely rotted. Gaps between pickets or a gate that won’t latch properly are also signs it’s time to call a carpenter.

We start with a thorough inspection to assess damage and identify underlying issues like rot or foundation shifts. Then we recommend the best materials—often pressure-treated lumber or composite—to match your needs and budget. Our team removes the old deck safely, ensures proper drainage, and builds a new deck that meets current building codes and withstands Union’s weather.
