Question Answers

My wooden fence gate is sagging and won't latch properly. What could be causing this, and how can you fix it?

A sagging gate is often caused by loose or rusted hardware, a settling fence post, or the sheer weight of the gate pulling on its hinges. In Dorchester Center's freeze-thaw cycles, ground movement can also shift posts. Our solution: we can tighten or replace hinges, adjust the post, or even install an anti-sag kit. If the gate is beyond repair, we can build and install a new, properly braced gate.

I live near Ashmont and my iron fence is showing rust spots. Is this a sign of serious damage, or can you just paint over it?

Rust spots are a sign that the protective coating has been breached, often from salt spray or winter de-icing. If left untreated, it can lead to pitting and structural weakness. We don't just paint over rust. Our process includes wire brushing, sanding, and applying a rust-inhibiting primer before painting or staining. We can also apply a weatherproof sealant to protect your fence for years to come.

My automatic gate near Codman Square stopped opening. Could the cold weather have affected it, and do you repair automatic gates?

Yes, cold weather can affect automatic gate mechanisms—batteries drain faster, lubricants thicken, and ice can jam tracks or sensors. We repair all brands of automatic gates. Our technicians will inspect the motor, gears, sensors, and control board. We'll also check the wiring and adjust the limit switches. For Dorchester Center homes, we can winterize your gate system to prevent future issues.
