Experienced Fencing Company in Minneapolis, MN 55407 - Bernie’s General Construction

Frost heave from deep winter freezes and thaw cycles can shift posts. Poor drainage around the post base also causes soil erosion, leading to instability. Bernie’s sets posts below the frost line (about 42 inches) and uses gravel for drainage to prevent this.

Look for loose or missing boards, rusted gate hinges, cracks in wood, or gates that drag. After a storm, check for leaning sections or visible gaps. Prompt repairs prevent bigger damage and keep your property secure.

We start with a free inspection to assess rot, warping, or broken fasteners. For wood fences, we replace damaged pickets and reinforce posts with concrete. For vinyl fences, we repair cracks or replace sections. All work is guaranteed against Minnesota’s climate.
