Expert Fence Installation in Merrillville, IN 46410 - Cedar Rustic Fence

In Merrillville, the most common signs include fence posts that lean or shift unevenly, cracks in wood or vinyl, and gates that stick or sag. You may also notice the fence pulling away from the house or a sudden gap at the bottom. These issues usually appear after a hard winter or a very wet spring. Catching them early can save you from a full replacement.

We use pressure-treated lumber sourced for Midwest humidity and apply a moisture-resistant sealant designed for Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our installation includes proper drainage around post holes (gravel base, not just dirt) and slightly elevated bottom rails to keep wood away from wet soil. This approach significantly reduces rot and warping compared to standard methods. We also recommend annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become major problems.

Yes. Sagging gates are one of the most common fence issues we fix. The problem is usually a loose hinge, a twisted post, or soil settling under the post. We’ll assess the cause, then either adjust the hinges, reset the post with concrete and gravel, or replace worn hardware. If the gate is beyond repair, we can match your existing fence style and install a new gate that operates smoothly for years.
