FAQs

Why do my fence posts lean after winter?

In Des Moines, freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil to expand and contract, shifting fence posts out of alignment. T&Z Home Repairs prevents this by setting posts below the frost line with concrete footings and gravel drainage, ensuring they stay straight through seasonal changes.

My fence panels keep coming loose in storms. What's the cause?

High winds common in central Iowa can loosen panels fastened with nails or staples. T&Z uses corrosion-resistant screws and wind-rated brackets to secure each panel, reducing the risk of damage during severe weather. A quick inspection can identify weak spots before the next storm.

How can I tell if my deck needs replacement vs repair?

If more than 30% of deck boards are rotting, or if the ledger board (attached to your house) shows signs of water damage, replacement is often safer. T&Z offers free inspections to assess the structure, checking for soft wood, rusted fasteners, and proper railings. For minor issues, targeted repairs can extend your deck's life.
