Local climate matters here. Wilmington, Delaware sees wind, rain, and temperature swings, and that combination accelerates fence damage. We see clear seasonal spikes in Wilmington homes, especially during fall and winter storm season when conditions are worst.
The way many Wilmington homes were built — common in this region from the 1980s through the early 2000s — leaves them more exposed to fence damage. Specific construction features matter more than overall age.
We see fence damage cases peak in Wilmington during fall and winter storm season, with a smaller second peak in spring. If you’ve noticed warning signs at those times of year, it’s worth scheduling an inspection while the issue is fresh.
Early warning signs we see most often in Wilmington homes: leaning posts that wasn’t there last year, loose or missing pickets that comes and goes, and rotting wood at the base changes. Spotting any of these early can save thousands.
