Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early signs that my wooden deck in Florence needs repair?
If you notice splintering surface boards, loose railings, or nails popping up, these are early signs of wear. In our climate around Florence, MS, the high humidity also encourages rot where wood meets the ground. Regular inspections for soft spots or discoloration can help us catch problems before they require a full deck replacement.
Can you fix a fence gate that is sagging and dragging on the ground?
Absolutely. A sagging gate is typically caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted in the wet soil. We tighten or replace the hardware, reinforce the gate's frame, and ensure the hinge posts are set solidly. This is a common issue we solve for homes near the Ross Barnett Reservoir, where the ground stays damp longer.
How do you protect a new fence from rotting in Florence's humid weather?
Proper installation is key. We use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact, set posts in gravel and concrete to allow drainage, and apply a high-quality weatherproofing stain or sealant to all exposed surfaces. For gates and areas close to sprinklers, we also recommend annual touch-ups to maintain the barrier against moisture.
