FAQs About Wood Fencing

How long does a wood fence last?

arrow down white

With proper maintenance, a wood fence can last 15 to 25 years, especially if built with cedar or pressure-treated wood. Regular staining and sealing extend its lifespan.

Will my wood fence warp or rot over time?

arrow down white

Wood is a natural material, but choosing high-quality wood and applying proper treatments (like staining or sealing) will prevent warping, rotting, and insect damage.

How much maintenance does a wood fence require?

arrow down white

Unlike vinyl fencing, wood fences require occasional staining, sealing, or painting to protect against moisture and UV exposure. Cleaning and minor repairs can also help maintain their longevity.

Can wood fencing withstand New England’s weather?

arrow down white

Yes! Cedar and pressure-treated wood are naturally weather-resistant, and our expert installation ensures proper reinforcement against strong winds, heavy snow, and moisture.

Can I customize the color of my wood fence?

arrow down white

Absolutely! You can choose to paint or stain your wood fence to match your home’s aesthetic. Natural wood also develops a beautiful patina over time if left untreated.

How do I protect my wood fence from moisture and insects?

arrow down white

To extend the life of your wood fence, apply a sealant, stain, or paint to protect against moisture and UV damage. Using naturally resistant wood like cedar or pressure-treated lumber helps prevent rot and insect infestations. Regular inspections and maintenance will also keep your fence in top shape.

Can wood fencing be repaired if damaged?

arrow down white

Yes! Unlike other materials, individual wood panels, boards, or posts can be replaced without redoing the entire fence. If a section is damaged due to weather or wear, we can repair or replace it to restore your fence’s strength and appearance.
