Replacing an aging fence allows your home to have more curb appeal
Aging is a sign of wisdom. However, in the case of a fence, it’s not wise to hold on to one if there is a lot of damage. An aging fence detracts from curb appeal, and depending on the damage, some fences aren’t worth keeping. Do you recognize the signs of an aging fence? Today, we’re going to go some signs that your fence has seen better days.
Wood Fences
Wood is a very cost-effective material, but since it’s a natural material, extreme weather conditions can inevitably impact a wood fence’s performance. Humidity, snow, and rain can cause a wooden fence to deteriorate after years. With this in mind, maintenance matters. Treated wood fences make a world of difference as well as regularly as well as sealing your fence. Another factor that some homeowners have to think about, unfortunately, is termite damage. Here are the signs to look out for as you walk along your wood fence:
- Splintering
- Warping
- Discoloration

However, some damage is typical, and there are ways that you can prevent it. First, look for cracks in the composite. If you do see cracks, then attempt to gauge how extensive the damage is. If you aren’t able to estimate the extent of the damage, then no worries. Our job is to help you assess if fence replacement should happen.
