Commercial Fencing Newburgh IN | Call Willis Fence Co

Wood rot in Newburgh is often caused by the high humidity and rapid freeze-thaw cycles we get here. Even with staining, moisture can seep into cracks and joints if the stain isn't reapplied regularly or if the wood wasn't properly sealed. Our weatherproofing service includes a deep clean and application of a high-quality sealant that bonds with the wood, filling micro-cracks. We also recommend annual inspections to catch early signs of rot before it spreads.

Yes, in most cases we can repair a sagging gate. The issue is often loose hinges or a warped frame caused by Newburgh's humidity. We'll tighten or replace the hardware, reinforce the frame with corrosion-resistant brackets, and adjust the latch. If the wood is swollen or rotten, we can replace only the damaged sections. This is much more cost-effective than a full replacement.

For storm resistance and deer deterrence, we recommend a combination of sturdy materials. A vinyl or metal fence (like aluminum or chain-link) won't rot or warp, and it stands up well to wind. For a natural look, pressure-treated pine with a heavy-duty stain and weatherproofing works well. Adding a top rail or extending the height to 6 feet can help keep deer out. We can also install a buried wire mesh at the base to prevent digging.
