Wood and Vinyl Fencing Bronx NY | Call Cheema Construction

The main cause is frost heave. In winter, moisture in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward or sideways. Cheema Construction prevents this by setting posts below the frost line (about 36-48 inches) with concrete collars that resist movement, keeping your fence stable year-round.

Bronx weather—humidity, rain, and UV rays—can cause wood to gray or metal to rust. Cheema Construction recommends pressure-treated or composite materials and applies protective sealants. For existing fences, they offer professional cleaning and staining to restore color and add weather resistance.

We can often repair it without full replacement. First, we remove the old post, then dig and set a new one using a frost-proof footing system. If the post is salvageable, we may re-set it with expanded concrete and bracing. For severe damage, we install a new post with brackets to prevent future shifting.
