Wood and Vinyl Fencing Fort Myers FL | Call Will’s Welding & Fabrication Shop

Warping is common here due to high humidity and rapid temperature changes. Moisture causes wood to swell, then shrink as it dries. To prevent this, we recommend using properly spaced, pressure-treated lumber and applying a quality weatherproof sealant. Our team can also install metal or composite fence options that resist warping.

Look for soft, spongy spots near the ground, peeling paint, dark or discolored wood, and a musty smell. If you see mushrooms or algae growing on the boards, rot is likely advanced. We can assess the extent of damage and suggest targeted fence repair or selective replacement to salvage your fence.

Yes, in many cases. We can remove and replace just the affected boards and posts, then treat the remaining wood with weatherproofing and stain. If the rot is widespread, a full fence replacement may be more cost-effective. We’ll walk you through both options based on the condition of your gate and surrounding structure.
