Citation Fence Company - Maspeth's Local Fence Builders

Sagging gates are often caused by loose or worn hinges, a settling fence post, or heavy wooden gates that aren't properly supported. In Maspeth, weather changes can also affect alignment. Our repair service includes adjusting or replacing hinges, reinforcing the gate frame, and, if needed, resetting the post. We can also install a tension cable or anti-sag kit to ensure your gate swings freely and stays level.

Loose fasteners are a common sign of pressure-treated wood drying out or incorrect hardware being used initially. The solution is to replace screws with corrosion-resistant exterior-grade fasteners. We also recommend ensuring the fence structure is stable; if not, we'll secure the panels first. For a long-term fix, we can apply weatherproofing to reduce wood movement and help fasteners stay tight.

Weatherproofing seals the wood, preventing moisture from causing swelling, shrinking, or rot, which are leading causes of loose fasteners and sagging gates. Our service includes applying a high-quality stain or sealant that protects against rain, snow, and sun. By keeping the fence stable, weatherproofing reduces the need for frequent repairs and extends the life of your fence and gate hardware.
