About the Company

Built To Last serves Memphis, TN, specializing in carpentry, fences & gates, and masonry/concrete work. Many local homeowners face fencing issues due to the region's heavy clay soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause posts to shift, gates to sag, and wood to rot prematurely. Built To Last addresses these problems by using proper post-setting techniques and durable materials suited to Mid-South conditions. Located near Overton Square and serving neighborhoods from Midtown to East Memphis, the company provides fence repairs, concrete work for post foundations, and custom gate building that withstands local weather. Their carpentry skills extend to structural repairs and custom woodwork for residential properties, ensuring that fences, gates, and concrete structures are built to endure the Memphis climate and soil challenges.

Common Questions

Why do my fence posts lean or rot so quickly in Memphis clay soil?

Memphis clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which can shift fence posts that aren't set deep enough. Built To Last addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using concrete collars or gravel drainage to reduce soil pressure and moisture contact. We also recommend pressure-treated wood or metal posts to resist rot common in our humid climate.

My gate swings down and drags on the ground after rain. What's the fix?

This is often caused by a sagging gate hinge or a shifted post due to soft ground. A simple solution involves reinforcing the hinge mount or replacing the post with a concrete-anchored setup. Built To Last can also adjust the gate frame or add an anti-sag cable kit to keep the gate level even after heavy rain.

Can you replace just a few rotten fence boards or do I need a whole new fence?

In many cases, we can replace individual boards and posts that have rotted, saving you the cost of a full replacement. We match the wood type and stain as closely as possible. If the majority of the fence is structurally sound, a repair is a practical option. We'll inspect your fence and give you an honest recommendation.
