Wood Fence Services for Webster Groves Properties
A wood fence can provide privacy, create a safer space for children and pets, define property lines and complement the appearance of a home. Because wood fencing can be customized more easily than many other materials, it works well for properties with different yard layouts, elevations and existing landscaping.
Makic Fence and Deck installs new cedar and treated pine fencing and repairs many common problems with existing wood fences. We can replace individual posts, rails, pickets, gates or entire sections when a complete replacement is not necessary.
Homeowners can learn more about our complete range of local services on our Webster Groves fence and deck contractor page.

What Types of Wood Fences Do We Install?
Privacy Fencing Designed Around Your Yard
Wood privacy fencing is a popular choice for backyards, patios, swimming pool areas, pets and properties located close to neighboring homes. We install several privacy styles, including:
Standard cedar and treated pine privacy fencing
Board-on-board fencing
Shadow box fencing
New England cap-and-trim fencing
Lattice-top privacy fencing
Horizontal and custom wood fence designs
Privacy gates and double-drive gates
Fence height, board placement and gate location can be adjusted around the property layout, subject to applicable codes and neighborhood requirements.
Picket and Decorative Wood Fencing
Not every property needs a solid privacy fence. A wood picket fence can define a yard while maintaining a more open appearance.
We build traditional and custom picket fences for:
Front and side yards
Gardens and landscaping
Pet containment
Walkways and entry gates
Decorative property boundaries
Patio or utility enclosures
Picket spacing, fence height and top profiles can be customized to create the appearance and level of enclosure the property needs.
Wood Fence Replacement and Extensions
When an existing fence has reached the end of its useful life, we can remove it and install a new fence along the approved layout. We can also extend an existing wood fence, add a gate or replace one portion while leaving sections that remain in usable condition.
Before recommending replacement, we look at the condition of the posts, rails, boards and gates. This helps determine whether targeted repairs are practical or whether replacing the fence would offer better long-term value.
Can an Existing Wood Fence Be Repaired?
In many cases, yes. A wood fence does not always need to be completely replaced because one section is leaning or a gate has stopped working properly.
Our Webster Groves wood fence repair services may include:
Replacing rotted or broken posts
Rebuilding leaning fence sections
Replacing damaged rails
Installing missing or broken pickets
Repairing or rebuilding wood gates
Replacing hinges, latches and gate hardware
Correcting sagging or dragging gates
Reattaching loose boards
Replacing storm-damaged sections
Modifying an existing fence layout
The condition of the surrounding materials matters. When the remaining fence is structurally sound, a focused repair can restore its function without replacing everything. If deterioration is widespread, we will explain why replacement may be the more dependable option.
Cedar or Treated Pine: Which Wood Fence Is Better?
Both cedar and treated pine can be used for residential fencing, but they have different characteristics.
Cedar fencing
Cedar is often selected for its natural appearance, dimensional stability and resistance to decay. It works especially well for privacy fences, decorative styles and projects where appearance is a major consideration.
Treated pine fencing
Pressure-treated pine is a practical option for homeowners who want a traditional wood fence at a different price point. Proper installation and ongoing maintenance can help extend its service life.
The right choice depends on the fence style, budget, desired appearance and maintenance expectations. During the estimate, we can explain the available options without pushing a material that does not fit the project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood Fencing in Webster Groves
Do you install both cedar and treated pine fences?
Yes. Makic Fence and Deck installs cedar and pressure-treated pine fencing. The best material depends on the desired appearance, style, budget and maintenance expectations.
Can you repair a wood fence without replacing the entire fence?
Often, yes. We may be able to replace damaged posts, rails, boards, gates or individual sections while leaving the usable portion of the fence in place. We inspect the overall condition before recommending repair or replacement.
Do you replace leaning wood fence posts?
Yes. Leaning or damaged posts can often be removed and replaced. The surrounding rails and boards may also need repair if movement has affected the rest of the section.
Can you build a custom wood gate?
Yes. We install walk gates, wider access gates and double-drive gates. Gate size, framing and hardware are selected based on the opening and intended use.
Do I need a permit for a wood fence in Webster Groves?
Permit requirements can depend on the fence location, height and scope of work. Makic Fence and Deck can help determine what may be required and can obtain permits when included in the project agreement. The property owner should provide an accurate survey or plot plan when needed.
Should I repair or replace my wood fence?
Repair usually makes sense when the damage is limited and the surrounding posts, rails and boards remain structurally sound. Replacement may be more economical when deterioration affects much of the fence or when several repairs would still leave an aging structure.
How do I request an estimate?
Call 314-866-5557 or submit the contact form on our website. We will arrange a time to look at the fence, discuss the project and provide a written estimate.
