Brooklyn Fence Company: Trusted Residential Fencing Serving Brooklyn, NY 11236

Frost heave is a common cause here in Brooklyn. When the ground freezes and thaws, it pushes posts upward or sideways, making your fence lean. We solve this by resetting posts with concrete footings that go below the frost line, providing a stable base that resists shifting.

If you notice the gate sagging, sticking, or making a loud scraping noise when you open it, that’s a clear sign the hinge is worn out. We’ll inspect the hardware and replace it with heavy-duty, weather-resistant hinges designed to handle daily use in Brooklyn’s climate.

We install posts using deep-set concrete footings—typically 30 to 36 inches deep—which is below the frost line in our area. This anchors the posts firmly, preventing the ground movement from causing leaning or shifting during winter.
