Trusted Fence Contractors in Cumberland, RI 2864 - Amaral's Fence Works

The main cause is frost heave. During winter, moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing fence posts upward and out of alignment. When the ground thaws, the posts can settle unevenly. Amaral's Fence Works prevents this by setting posts deep into the ground, below the frost line, and using concrete footings to anchor them securely against our local freeze-thaw cycles.

Common signs include leaning posts, sagging or misaligned gates, cracked or warped panels, and gaps between the fence and the ground. You might also notice that a gate no longer latches properly. If you spot any of these issues, it's best to have a professional assess the posts and footings before the problem worsens.

We start by inspecting the gate hinges, posts, and foundation. If the post has shifted due to frost, we may re-set it with deeper concrete footings. For the gate itself, we can adjust or replace hinges, reinforce the frame, or install a tensioning cable to prevent sagging. Our goal is to restore smooth operation and long-term stability, tailored to Cumberland's soil conditions.
