FAQs
How does C&E Fencing prevent fence posts from shifting due to frost heave in Plattsburgh's winter climate?
We understand that Plattsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause frost heave, shifting fence posts over time. To counter this, we set posts below the frost line (typically 4 feet deep) and use gravel backfill for proper drainage. This reduces soil movement around the post, keeping your fence stable through harsh winters. We also recommend materials like vinyl, which won’t warp or rot when exposed to moisture and cold.
What types of fences does C&E Fencing offer for residential properties in Plattsburgh?
We provide a variety of residential fencing options tailored to local needs, including vinyl, wood, aluminum, and wrought iron. Vinyl fences are ideal for our climate as they’re impervious to weathering and insects, while aluminum fences require minimal maintenance and resist rust. Our team handles the full installation process, from custom design to final setup, ensuring your property gains privacy, security, or curb appeal.
Can C&E Fencing repair or weatherproof an existing metal gate that has started to rust?
Yes, we offer gate repair and weatherproofing services for metal gates. For rusted components, we remove the corrosion, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and repaint or stain the gate to match your existing finish. We also recommend annual inspections to catch early signs of rust, especially after Plattsburgh’s snowy winters. For long-term durability, we can upgrade to aluminum gates, which are naturally resistant to rust.
