Company Background

Big fellas fencing serves homeowners and businesses across Philadelphia, PA, from the historic streets of Old City to the rowhomes of South Philly. The local fencing challenge here involves dealing with aging wooden fences that rot, warp, or lean due to the city's humid summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and shifting soils. Big fellas fencing addresses this by offering durable replacement and repair services using treated lumber, vinyl, and metal options designed to withstand Philadelphia's weather. Their team also adjusts gates and posts to correct settling issues common in older properties near neighborhoods like Fishtown, University City, and Northern Liberties. By focusing on proper installation and maintenance, they help property owners restore curb appeal and security.

Question Answers

What causes fence posts to lean or tilt in Philadelphia, and how does Big fellas fencing fix it?

Leaning posts are often caused by ground heaving from freeze-thaw cycles or soil erosion around older foundations in areas like South Philly. Big fellas fencing assesses the root cause—whether it's shallow posts, rotted bases, or drainage issues—then re-sets posts with concrete footings or installs post anchors to prevent future movement.

My wooden fence in Overbrook is rotting at the bottom. Is it time to replace the whole fence or can you repair just the affected sections?

Rot near the base often results from moisture wicking up from wet soil or splash-back during rain. Big fellas fencing can replace individual pickets and rails if the structural posts are solid. But if rot has reached the posts or the frame, a partial or full replacement with pressure-treated wood or vinyl may be more cost-effective long-term.

How do you prevent gate sagging on older Philadelphia properties with uneven sidewalks?

Gate sag is common in historic districts like Society Hill where sidewalks settle unevenly. Big fellas fencing installs heavy-duty hinges, corner braces, and adjustable tension rods to correct alignment. We also reset the gate post to a deeper depth so it stays plumb despite ground movement.
