Vlasquez Outdoors - Albany's Experienced Privacy Fence Installation

Albany experiences frequent thunderstorms and high winds, especially during spring and summer. These storms can snap wooden fence rails, loosen posts, or blow entire sections over. The heavy rain also softens the soil, making fence posts less stable. Over time, repeated exposure to moisture can cause wood rot, which worsens damage during storms.

Look for visible splits, splinters, or gaps along the length of the picket. If the crack extends more than halfway through the wood or the picket feels loose when you push it, it's likely compromised. Also, check for discoloration or soft spots near the base, which indicate rot. Ignoring cracked pickets can lead to further damage during Albany's next big storm.

We start by assessing the damage, including the posts, rails, and pickets. For storm-damaged sections, we remove broken parts and replace them with pressure-treated lumber that resists moisture and rot. Cracked pickets are carefully removed and replaced with new ones, ensuring a seamless match. We also reinforce posts with concrete anchors to improve stability against future storms. Our goal is to restore your fence's strength and appearance quickly.
