White Wing construction - Gresham's Professional Residential Fencing

The most common cause is prolonged exposure to rain and moisture in the soil, which can rot wood posts and make the ground loose around them. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter also shift the soil, causing posts to lean. White Wing Construction addresses this by replacing rotted posts, installing concrete footings for stability, and applying weatherproofing treatments to protect against future moisture damage.

Signs that repair may be enough include minor rot in a few boards, loose railings, or wobbly steps. You need a full replacement if the support posts or joists are rotting, the ledger board is pulling away from the house, or the deck feels unsafe when walking on it. White Wing Construction provides free on-site inspections in Gresham to assess the damage and give you a clear recommendation.

Regular cleaning and applying a quality weatherproofing stain or sealant every two to three years helps repel moisture and UV rays. Also, make sure there is good drainage near the fence posts to prevent standing water. White Wing Construction offers fence weatherproofing and staining services for Gresham homeowners, using local-grade materials that hold up in Pacific Northwest conditions.
