Best Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Far Rockaway, NY 11691 - A&L Service

Ice and snow cause ground freeze-thaw cycles that shift fence posts, especially when post holes aren't deep enough. Salt air and moisture from the nearby ocean also accelerate rust at the base of steel posts, weakening their grip. A&L Service can inspect your fence, reset posts with concrete footings, or replace damaged sections to restore stability.

Common signs include bent or broken top rails, sagging or loose chain link fabric, gaps between the bottom of the fence and the ground, and gates that drag or won't close properly. If you notice rust or cracks near the post bases, that's another red flag. A&L Service offers free on-site evaluations to identify hidden issues and recommend the right fix.

Proper weatherproofing is key. A&L Service can apply rust-inhibiting coatings and sealant to metal fences, and ensure good drainage around post bases to reduce frost heave. Upgrading to galvanized or aluminum fencing also resists corrosion. Simple annual checks and tightening loose hardware before winter can save you bigger repair bills later.
