Fence Builders Brooklyn NY | Call American Fences

We address fence post rot by using pressure-treated lumber, setting posts in concrete with a gravel base for drainage, and applying a waterproof sealant to the base. This prevents moisture buildup and rot, keeping your fence aligned and sturdy for years even in Brooklyn's damp climate. We also inspect surrounding soil and adjust for area drainage during installation.

For tight spaces like those near Cobble Hill or Bushwick, we often recommend composite decking for its low maintenance and resistance to moisture, or pressure-treated wood for a classic look at a lower cost. We also design built-in planters and seating to maximize function, and can add multi-level platforms to make the most of uneven lots.

Yes, we repair automatic gates of all types—sliding, swing, or overhead—in neighborhoods from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge. Common repairs include motor issues, sensor misalignment, and track obstructions. We also offer retrofits to upgrade older gates with modern keypads or smartphone controls, all while meeting NYC safety codes.
