Common issues we address with repair include:
Wood Rot
Wood fences are quite common on residential properties in Cincinnati. They're classy and easy to customize to your home's unique aesthetic and yard size. They keep pets and kids in and, if built high enough, keep intruders out. While wood fences certainly have their advantages, they are susceptible to wood rot if they have not been treated properly. Staining and painting are required to prevent the wood from catching this fast-growing fungus. What exactly causes wood rot? Wood rot is a fungus that's caused by a buildup of excess moisture in lumber. When combined with a warm environment, the fungus starts to grow, eating the wood as it begins to multiply and take over all the wood in its path. That's an extreme case, but if you catch it early enough, we can address the issue with expert wood rot repair services.
Are you a property owner with a wooden fence? It's important to ensure it's always sealed properly. The sealant will keep moisture out. Paint is another excellent deterrent for wood rot. During your fence repair, Cincinnati professionals on our team will assess the wood’s condition and make a recommendation on whether it can be repaired. Or perhaps it’s best to go ahead with a plank replacement. If it's a repair that's needed, we'll cut away the rot section and replace it with new planks or panels. To protect the surface, we’ll smooth it down and apply a sealant or coat of paint.
Replacing Broken or Missing Slats, Rails and Pickets
There are many reasons why your slats, rails, and pickets may become damaged or missing. From extreme weather and pets to backyard sports and accidents, if one or a few pieces of your fence need to be replaced, we can help. Thankfully, it's quite easy to remove an old, damaged piece of a fence and pop in new fence materials. Installing a new rail or picket will make your fence look as good as new.
Leaning Fence Post Repair
Cincinnati fences that have leaning posts are most likely due to broken concrete or damaged wood under the surface. When installing fences, a post is fixed within the concrete to secure it. But if your fence is made of wood, then it can rot and break off underground, and the upper part of your fence will start to lean with time. This means that a strong breeze could just push over your fence at any time, leaving you with no fence at all.
The concrete footing could also be the culprit behind why your fence is leaning. Concrete can crumble with time, and the post will be left unsupported. To correct this issue, we'll remove the post and the concrete footing, deepen the hole, and put a new post in place before pouring concrete to secure it. When the concrete is dry, we'll fill the hole with soil and attach the rails, hinges, and latch to the new post. And just like that, you've just received the best fence post repair. Cincinnati locals can rejoice!
