Fence or deck in Palm Bay

Termites are the quiet fence problem in Palm Bay. In 2026, University of Florida researchers reported that the invasive Asian subterranean termite, once thought to be mostly a South Florida pest, is now established as far north as Brevard County on the southeast coast. The same study found the Formosan subterranean termite established across most of Florida's coastal counties.

UF/IFAS Extension's guide to Florida's termite species adds a twist. Several native drywood termites don't work from the soil at all. They need wood that gets rained on or wet now and then, which is a fair description of a fence board or a deck rail. The light southeastern drywood termite, the most common of three native species in its group, can casually infest outdoor wood items and exterior wood exposed to water.

So in Palm Bay, choose materials with both kinds in mind. Vinyl and aluminum fences give termites nothing to eat. A composite deck still sits on a frame, and if that frame is wood, it needs the same care.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
