Brandon Construction & Remodeling | Best Fencing Company in Brentwood, NY

The main cause in Brentwood is frost heave, where freezing ground lifts and shifts the concrete footing over winter. This can crack the concrete around the post and cause your fence to lean. Signs include gaps at the bottom of the post, twisted rails, and loose panels. If left unchecked, it can damage nearby walkways or walls. Brandon Construction & Remodeling can inspect the area, perform partial structure demolition of the damaged post and concrete, and reinstall the fence properly.

Yes, often we can repair just the affected section using partial structure demolition. We carefully remove the leaning post, break up the old concrete footing, and replace it with a deeper, properly reinforced base to resist frost heave. For severe damage, we might recommend total structure demolition and a fresh installation. Our goal is to save you money and time while ensuring your fence stays straight.

We typically start with demolition of the old concrete footing using our demolition services. Then we pour new concrete footings that extend below the frost line (about 36 inches in Brentwood) to prevent future heaving. We also repair any nearby concrete patios, walkways, or walls that were cracked by the shifting post. Our masonry and concrete team ensures the new fence has a stable, level foundation that will last for years.
