Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to move in Rock Falls?
Frost heave is the main culprit. When moisture in the soil freezes, it expands and pushes posts upward. In Rock Falls, the freeze-thaw cycle can shift posts if they aren't set deep enough—below the frost line (typically 48 inches). American Quality Fence sets posts with concrete footings at the proper depth to prevent this movement.
What are signs that my fence staining is failing?
Look for peeling, fading, or uneven color. Also, water absorption into the wood (dark spots) indicates the stain no longer repels moisture. This often happens because of inadequate surface prep or using poor-quality stain. American Quality Fence recommends annual inspection and reapplication every 2–3 years with oil-based stains for longevity.
How can I fix a leaning fence post affected by frost heave?
First, remove the post and dig out the hole deeper to below the frost line. Place a gravel base for drainage, then set the post in concrete. Allow concrete to cure before backfilling. In severe cases, you may also need to replace rotted wood. American Quality Fence offers this repair service with a warranty against future heave.
