Fencing — Install + Repair + Gates

New fencing, gate installs, post resets, wind-damage repairs, and staining — built straight, secure, and clean.

Most fence problems come from leaning posts + poor drainage: shallow footings, saturated soil, or loose hardware. We check layout, post stability, gate swing/clearance, and finish details so your fence looks sharp and works smoothly.

Repairs + Gate Fixes

Leaning sections, broken pickets, dragging gates, hardware replacement, and wind damage — repaired at the source.

Repair scope
Wind Damage Re-secure panels, rails, and fasteners.
Leaning Fence Reset/replace posts; correct sway.
Gate Drag / Misalign Adjust hinges, latch, and framing.
Broken Boards Replace pickets/rails, match look where possible.
Hardware Swap Hinges, latches, drop rods, bolts.
Post Repair Sister posts, replace rotten wood, reset.
Stain / Seal Refresh protection and appearance.
Safety Check Stability + latch security for kids/pets.

Typical repair process

  1. Identify the root cause (post movement, hardware, impact, rot)
  2. Open only what’s needed to access the failure point
  3. Reset/replace posts or hardware first
  4. Replace damaged boards/panels and align runs
  5. Test gate swing + latch; cleanup

Repair notes

  • Leaning is usually a post/footing issue — fixing only boards won’t hold long.
  • Dragging gates typically need hinge/latch alignment and sometimes frame stiffening.
  • Stain/seal helps most when applied after repairs on clean, dry wood.

Common Fencing Questions

Fast answers — we’ll confirm details during inspection.

If most posts are solid and damage is isolated, repairs are often the best value. If posts are leaning/rotted across multiple sections or the fence is near end-of-life, replacement is usually cleaner and longer-lasting.

Most commonly: post movement (soil/footing), hinge sag, or frame twist. We correct the root cause, then align hinges and latch so the gate swings and closes smoothly.

Standard wood privacy fencing is common. For airflow and a modern look, hog wire panels can work well in the right yard layout. We can recommend based on visibility needs, wind exposure, and budget.

Stain/seal helps reduce weathering and can extend fence life—especially in high sun and sprinklers exposure. Timing matters: we prefer clean, dry wood and repairs done first.
