911 Fence Handyman | Trusted Residential Fencing in Peoria, AZ

Soil erosion is the main culprit. In Peoria, heavy rains can wash away the soil around wooden fence posts, leaving them loose. A temporary fix is to tamp soil back in, but that won't last. We address the cause by resetting the post in a concrete base, ensuring it stays level. If the wood is rotted, we replace the post. For metal or chain link, we can brace the post and add a concrete footer to prevent future shifting.

Painting is a temporary cosmetic fix. The real issue is the corrosion has weakened the metal. If the rust is light and hasn't eaten through, we can clean it and apply a rust-inhibiting primer before painting. But if you see holes or the metal flakes away, you need a repair or replacement. We cut out the damaged sections and weld or bolt in new, galvanized material. For long-term protection, we recommend applying a weatherproofing sealant after the repair.

A running motor that doesn't open the gate usually means a mechanical failure, like a stripped gear, broken belt, or a seized bearing. It could also be a misaligned limit switch. The first thing to check is that the gate itself runs freely by hand. If it binds, the track or hinges might be the problem. We diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a mechanical part, sensor issue, or gate alignment—and can repair or replace the faulty component. Don't wait, because forcing the motor will damage it further.
