Q&A
What causes a wood fence to rot quickly in West Plains, and how can you prevent it?
Wood fences in West Plains can rot quickly due to repeated cycles of heavy rain, high humidity, and freezing temperatures. Moisture gets trapped in cracks and at the base, leading to decay. Vallance & Arford Fencing offers fence weatherproofing services that include applying a quality sealant or stain. This prevents water infiltration and protects against the freeze-thaw cycle. We also trim fence pickets to ensure proper ground clearance, reducing direct soil contact.
My automatic gate won't open or close properly—what's a common sign of needed repair?
A common sign your automatic gate needs repair is when it opens slowly, makes grinding noises, or reverses direction unexpectedly. This often indicates a problem with the motor, tracks, or sensors. Vallance & Arford Fencing can inspect and repair the gate mechanism, realign tracks, and replace worn parts. We also offer manual gate installation as a reliable alternative if you prefer a simpler system without motorized components.
How often should I repaint or stain my fence in West Plains to keep it looking good?
For West Plains' climate, we recommend painting or staining a wood fence every 2 to 3 years. Signs it's time include fading color, peeling paint, or bare wood spots. Routine fence painting or staining not only maintains curb appeal but also adds a protective layer against UV rays and moisture. Vallance & Arford Fencing can handle cleaning, prep, and application so your fence lasts longer.
