Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a gate to sag, and how can you fix it?
Gate sagging is usually caused by worn hinges, loose screws, or a gate that's too heavy for its frame. Over time, the weight pulls the gate out of alignment, making it drag on the ground. At Walters Wood Working, we first inspect the hinges and hardware—often a simple replacement or tightening does the trick. If the gate frame itself is twisted, we can reinforce it with a diagonal brace or install a heavier-duty hinge system. We serve Montgomery neighborhoods like Garden District and Dalraida, ensuring your gate swings freely again.
How do I know if my fence section needs to be replaced after a storm?
After high winds, check for loose pickets, cracked rails, or posts that have shifted. If a section is leaning more than a few degrees or the wood is splintered, it's safer to replace that section rather than patch it. Walters Wood Working offers fence section replacement that blends with your existing fence—we match the wood type and stain. We've helped homeowners near the Montgomery Zoo and in the Vaughn Meadows area get their fences back up quickly, keeping pets and kids secure.
Can you repair a deck that has rotted boards, or do I need a full replacement?
It depends on how far the rot has spread. If only a few boards are affected, we can replace just those and treat the surrounding area. But if the joists or support posts are compromised, a full deck replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. Walters Wood Working evaluates your deck's structure and gives you honest advice—whether it's a simple repair near the Old Alabama Town district or a complete rebuild for a home in the Cottage Hill area. We use pressure-treated lumber and proper flashing to prevent future rot.
