Best Commercial Fencing in Helena, MT 59604 - Capital Fence

Look for leaning or shifted posts, cracked or splintered wooden rails, and gates that drag or won't latch properly. In Helena, repeated freezing and thawing can also cause concrete footings to loosen, leaving posts wobbly. If you notice any of these issues, call Capital Fence for a free inspection before the damage worsens.

Helena's clay-rich soil expands when wet and contracts during dry spells, while deep frost pushes posts upward. Capital Fence solves this by setting posts below the frost line (typically 48 inches in Helena) and using gravel backfill for better drainage. For existing heaving, we can re-set the posts with concrete collars or replace them with steel posts that resist movement.

Yes, absolutely. Capital Fence often replaces only the bottom two feet of rotted pickets and rails, matching the existing stain or paint. This is a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your fence without a full replacement. We use pressure-treated lumber and a gravel base to prevent future moisture damage, common in Helena's damp spring seasons.
