A fence is an investment in safety and security. But as with any investment, fences occasionally need to be maintained to hold their value. If neglected, a fence will show signs of wear and tear, and eventually need to be entirely replaced. Learn to recognize the signs of a fence in need of repair.
Ground conditions can (and often do) shift over time, causing a fence to sit too close to the ground. Too much ground contact allows moisture to penetrate or damage materials, which can lead to premature fence failure.
Wrought iron and other ferrous metals are susceptible to rust, which can cause a fence to become weak or fail entirely. Rust usually appears as an orange discoloration at first and typically begins in a wrought iron fence’s joints.
Chipped paint or other discoloration can also lead to further problems with your fence. When materials are left exposed to the elements, pests, moisture, and dry rot often damage fencing.
When posts begin to sway or fall, the rest of the fence is usually not far behind. Even strong materials like metal or pressure treated wood can warp or bend when over time as conditions around your fence slowly change.
Wood fencing can also be susceptible to pests or dry rot. Dry rot occurs when wood loses its natural oils, and termites, carpenter ants, certain wasps, and various other wood borers can quickly ruin a fence if left unchecked.
Fences don’t have it easy. They are exposed to natural conditions at all times, and don’t get to take breaks or days off. If your fence or gate exhibits any of the above symptoms or is otherwise in need of repair, we can help add life to your fence and make it function properly. Repair services include:

Traditional wood fences use wood posts set in cement footings. Unfortunately, water can seep into this cement, causing posts to sway or fall. Even pressure treated wood can warp or bend when exposed to water.

Dry rot can occur when wood loses its natural oils. In cases of dry rot, certain types of fungi begin to digest materials that give wood its strength and stiffness, causing a fence to become brittle and break.
