True Construction: Professional Privacy Fence Installation Serving Sumner, WA 98391

Wood fence rot is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to moisture from rain, fog, and ground contact. In Sumner, the frequent wet weather prevents wood from drying out, allowing fungi to grow. Poor drainage, lack of sealing, and ground contact accelerate decay. True Construction can assess your fence, recommend weatherproofing treatments, and replace rotted sections to prevent further damage.

Signs of damage include leaning sections, visible rot or mold, cracked or splintered wood, gaps between panels, and difficulty opening gates. After a storm, check for loose nails or broken boards. If your fence no longer provides full privacy or feels unstable, it's time for repair. True Construction offers free inspections and can repair or replace damaged panels to restore your fence's integrity.

The best solution depends on the extent of the damage. For minor rot, we can cut out affected wood and apply a wood hardener, then paint or stain to match. For widespread damage, replacing entire panels is more cost-effective. We also offer weatherproofing services like sealing and staining to protect against future moisture. For automatic gates, we can repair or upgrade the opener mechanism. True Construction provides expert, neighborly advice tailored to your fence's condition.
