Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Wakefield, MA?
The main cause is frost heave. In Wakefield, the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly during winter, pushing fence posts upward and out of alignment. This is especially common in clay-heavy soil near areas like Lake Quannapowitt or the older neighborhoods around the Wakefield Common.
How can I tell if my fence needs weatherproofing or staining?
Look for signs like peeling paint, visible bare wood, splintering, or water stains near the bottom of the posts. If the wood feels rough or absorbs water instead of beading it up, your fence is vulnerable to rot and freeze damage. Curran Fence offers staining and weatherproofing to seal and protect your fence from Wakefield’s wet winters.
Can you repair a fence that’s been damaged by frost heave, or does it need to be replaced?
In many cases, yes, we can repair it. Curran Fence specializes in fence repair for Wakefield properties, including resetting leaning posts, replacing rotted sections, and reinforcing footings. We assess the damage first—often, only a few posts need replacement, saving you the cost of a full install.
