Walt Whitman Fence: Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Melville, NY 11747

We handle deck construction, repair, and replacement using pressure-treated lumber, composite, or PVC. Our team assesses the existing structure, replaces rotted boards, reinforces railings, and can redesign the layout to better suit your yard. We also match new decks to existing fencing for a cohesive look.

Melville’s wet springs and freezing winters accelerate rot. We use galvanized post anchors set in concrete above grade to keep wood dry, and we treat all posts with preservatives. For existing rot, we replace the affected section and install drainage gravel around the base. Regular sealing every 2–3 years extends post life significantly.

Yes. Rail separation is common as nails or screws loosen over time. We reattach rails using corrosion-resistant screws and brackets, reinforcing the connection with wood glue and blocking if needed. For severe damage, we replace the rail and check the post for hidden rot. This restores strength and prevents sagging.
