C&C Affordable Fencing and Deck | Professional Fence Installation in Montgomery, AL

In Montgomery, heavy rain can saturate the clay-heavy soil, causing fence posts set without proper concrete footings to shift and lean. While deck construction is focused on building elevated platforms, the same principle of setting posts in deep, reinforced concrete applies. C&C Affordable Fencing and Deck ensures all posts—whether for a fence or a deck—are anchored securely to prevent leaning, even after the wettest Alabama storms.

Common signs include cracked or splintered boards, loose railings, visible rot near the ground, and a spongy feel when walking. After heavy rain, check for water pooling or soft spots. If you notice any of these, especially near landmarks like the Montgomery Zoo or in older neighborhoods like Capitol Heights, it’s time for a professional assessment. We can repair isolated damage or recommend a full replacement if the structure is unsafe.

Sagging gates are usually caused by worn hinges or a leaning post. We tighten or replace hinges, and if the post has shifted in wet soil, we re-set it with concrete. Since many homeowners have a gate leading to a deck, we often combine gate repairs with deck repairs—replacing rotted boards or reinforcing the frame—so everything is safe and aligned. It’s a common call we get from clients off Perry Hill Road.
