Best Fence Contractors in Wilmington, NC 28403 - Cory's Custom Carpentry

This is common in Wilmington's sandy soil. The ground can become oversaturated after heavy rain, causing fence posts to shift or rot at the base. For a temporary sign, you might notice the gate dragging. This is a sign the posts are no longer secure. We can often fix this by resetting and shimming leaning posts, and if the damage is extensive, we'll replace the affected posts or sections with weather-rated materials.

This could be a simple wiring issue or a more serious mechanical problem with the motor. In our area, salty air can corrode contacts or rust the hinge bearings. A clear sign is unusual grinding noises when it tries to move. We'll come out to diagnose the electrical and mechanical systems—often it's a fixable sensor or a worn gear. If not, we can handle full automatic gate repair or replacement.

Buckling siding is frequently caused by moisture getting behind the panels, often from faulty flashings or improper installation. In our humid climate, that trapped moisture can make the material swell. The first sign is usually a visible wave or bubble. We solve it by carefully removing the affected sections, checking the weather barrier underneath, and reinstalling with proper ventilation and moisture-resistant fasteners to prevent recurrence.
