Wood fence posts will last much longer and are extremely durable if they’re set in concrete; we’ll ask your building department where you live for their standards for fence post, but we always recommend fence post set in concrete.
Wood fences should be installed approximately 4inches inside your property line, or installed in the same place as the old fence whenever you’re replacing an old fence.
Wood Fence Repair is necessary from time to time and we can match any wood or hardware on your homes wood fence from gate post to gate hardware. Wood fences are easily repaired and they don’t need to be replaced just because there are sections of fence, or loose hardware on the fence that needs to be replaced.
Fence rail repair. Fence rails can usually be repaired using a 2x4 stud or galvanized steel T braces; we’ll make to apply a good wood preservative to all areas of the wood fence when we’re repairing it to prevent further damage to the fence from rotting.
Fence Post repair. Some of your fence post will begin to wobble as time goes by, if the fence post is rotting or broken, we’ll repair it with 2x4 wood splints attached to each side of the post that go below the frost line, and are at least a foot above the ground on each side. We then drill holes in at least two places on the splints and use galvanized bolts and pressure treated 2x4’s or a good grade of cedar. When fence post are broken at the ground level we’ll replace the entire fence post which involves digging a new post hole, and placing a new wood post in concrete to make sure you have a strong repair that will last for years.
Fence Gate repair. If the gates on your wood fence are becoming hard to close, or won’t we’ll check the hinges to make sure they’re not bent; if they are we’ll replace the wood fence hinge with a larger hinge. If the problem is loose screws we’ll fill the old holes with wood dowels and glue, and then re-drill new where the old holes used to be with new holes and use larger galvanized screws that will hold the gate in place.
Replace wood fence sections. Replacing sections of wood fence is usually the easiest way to fix a broken or damaged section of your wood fence, or we’ll repair small breaks in wood fence panels with a new wood panel that will match your existing fence.
