Cariño Fences & Repair: Expert Residential Fencing Serving Hopkins, MN 55305

In Hopkins, the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowfall can push fence posts out of alignment, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Poor drainage is another culprit. The solution is to install posts at least 30 inches deep with gravel at the base to allow water to drain away. We also use pressure-treated wood for new posts and recommend annual inspection after winter.

Signs include loose or missing boards, visible rot at ground level, leaning sections, and gates that won't latch properly. If more than 20% of your fence has these issues, replacement is often more cost-effective. For minor damage, like a few broken boards or a sagging gate hinge, repair is usually fine. We offer free assessments to help you decide.
