Fencing Company Rome GA | Call Walker Landscape & Fence

In our Rome climate, the biggest culprits are strong thunderstorms and high humidity. Heavy winds can blow entire panels loose, while moisture from rain and humidity causes wood pickets to swell, crack, or rot over time. Soil movement from seasonal changes can also shift fence posts, leading to panel warping or separation.

If the crack is only a hairline split and the picket is still structurally sound, you might get away with a wood filler or a temporary fix. But if the crack runs the full length of the picket, the wood is splitting in multiple places, or the picket feels loose or rotten at the base, replacement is the safer and longer-lasting solution. Our team can inspect and let you know what's best.

Absolutely, we can replace individual pickets if the rest of the panel is in good shape. This is a common and cost-effective repair we handle frequently. However, if the entire panel frame is warped or the damage is widespread, a full panel replacement might be more practical. We'll walk the fence line with you and give honest options.
