Q&A
What types of fence materials do you offer for Fort Wayne homes?
We offer wood, vinyl, and metal fencing options. Wood provides a classic look but requires periodic staining or painting. Vinyl is low maintenance and resists rotting and insects. Metal fencing, such as aluminum or steel, offers durability and security. We help you choose based on your style, budget, and maintenance preferences.
How do you protect decks and fences from Fort Wayne's freeze-thaw cycles?
Freeze-thaw cycles can cause concrete footings to heave and wood to crack. We set fence posts below the frost line (about 36 inches) and use gravel for drainage to minimize shifting. For decks, we use galvanized fasteners, proper flashing, and pressure-treated or composite lumber designed to resist moisture and temperature changes. Regular sealing is also recommended.
Can you repair a damaged gate or install an automatic gate opener?
Yes, we repair both manual and automatic gates, including sagging hinges, broken latches, and malfunctioning openers. We can also install new automatic gate systems with keypads, remotes, or phone controls for convenience. Our repairs ensure smooth operation and security.
