Questions and Answers
How do you fix a gate latch that keeps slipping or a fence post that's leaning in DeLand?
Gate latch failures and loose fence posts are common in our area due to soil shifts and humidity. We inspect the latch mechanism, replace worn parts with heavy-duty stainless steel, and realign the gate. For loose posts, we dig out the old concrete, reset the post with a gravel base and new concrete mix, ensuring proper drainage to prevent future movement. This approach addresses the root cause and provides a long-term fix, typical for properties near Stetson University or along the riverfront.
What options do you offer for automatic gate installation in DeLand?
We install automatic gates for driveways and entry points, including sliding and swing gates operated by keypads, remote controls, or smart phone apps. Our systems include safety sensors and battery backups, compatible with wood, vinyl, aluminum, or chain link gates. We also integrate access control systems for added security, following local building codes for setback and electrical requirements.
How do you weatherproof fences and gates in the DeLand climate?
DeLand's heat, humidity, and occasional storms can damage fences. We apply weatherproofing treatments like sealants, water repellents, and UV-resistant stains to wood fences, and we use galvanized or stainless steel hardware for all installations. For gates, we install weather stripping and adjustable hinges to maintain alignment. This preventative approach extends the life of your fence and reduces maintenance needs.
