Walls & Son Fencing - Prattville's Top-Rated Fence Builders

High winds and heavy rain common in Alabama storms can loosen posts, warp wood, or snap rails, especially if the fence was already weakened by rot or insect damage. In Prattville, we often see older cedar fences along the Autauga Creek corridor that haven’t been treated for years. A thorough inspection can determine if a simple repair will suffice or if entire sections need replacement.

Look for leaning posts, cracked or splintered boards, rust on metal components, and wood that feels spongy near the ground—a sign of rot. In Prattville’s humid climate, fences near the golf course neighborhoods often show fungal growth or discoloration. If your gate sags or won’t latch properly, that’s another red flag. Walls & Son offers free on-site assessments to catch these issues early.

After a bad storm, it’s crucial to secure the area and document the damage. For wind-damaged panels, we often recommend replacing the affected sections with pressure-treated wood or vinyl, which holds up better during storms. In cases where the fence is repeatedly damaged, we can upgrade to a more wind-resistant design. Walls & Son Fencing will work with your insurance and provide a permanent fix that lasts for years.
