Acme Fence | Fence & Gate Repair in Orem, UT | Local Experts

Orem’s clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles often cause fence posts to shift, lean, or rot at the base. Acme Fence addresses this by replacing affected posts with pressure-treated lumber set in concrete below the frost line, ensuring stability. For minor leaning, we can sometimes re-set and brace the post. We also recommend using post anchors or gravel backfill to improve drainage and prevent future rot.

High winds common in Orem can knock gates out of alignment, bend hinges, or loosen latch hardware. Acme Fence will inspect the gate for sagging, check the posts for plumb, and adjust or replace hinges and latches as needed. If the gate frame is warped, we can reinforce it or install a new self-closing gate that withstands future weather. We’ll also ensure the gate swings freely and latches securely.

Look for widespread rot, multiple leaning posts, or large gaps where pickets have pulled away. If more than 30% of the fence is damaged, replacement is often more cost-effective. Acme Fence will evaluate your fence’s condition, checking for termite damage, rusted hardware, and structural integrity. For local Orem homes near UVU or Geneva Road, we often recommend replacing with cedar or vinyl that resists moisture and UV damage, providing a longer-lasting solution.
