Fence Company in Kennesaw, GA

14,380 homes and a settled ownership base

Nearly two thirds of Kennesaw's 14,380 homes are lived in by the people who own them. Fences in a town like that get maintained, not inherited and abandoned, so what we find on arrival is usually a fence somebody has already been looking after, which changes the conversation from replacement to intervention.

Nineties houses, and fences at twenty-five

Most of these houses went up around 1998, which puts the original fence at about twenty-five, right at the end of a wood fence life without maintenance and about the middle of one with it. What survives that long is wood that was stained, and what doesn't is wood that wasn't. Where the posts are still sound and the panels have gone, repair instead of replacement is a legitimate answer and it's worth asking about before the whole thing comes out.

The bit that fails first

On a fence of this age the failure sequence is predictable. Pickets go before rails, rails go before posts, and posts go at ground level, not in the middle. So the useful diagnostic isn't how the fence looks from the house but whether a post moves when you push it. If the posts hold, most of what's wrong is surface work. If they don't, the surface work is wasted money.

More detail

The full scope of what a fence job includes is on the fence company page. Staining, leaning posts and sagging gates are covered in the wood fence maintenance guide, and style options in the fence styles guide. Decks and everything else here are on the Kennesaw page, the county page is Cobb, and a couple of photos will usually settle repair against replace without a visit.
