Dauberman's Home Improvement Services - Fredericksburg's Local Commercial Fencing

The most common cause is loose or worn-out gate hardware—specifically the hinges and bolts. Over time, heavy gates can work the screws loose from the post or gate frame. Another cause is failing welds on the hinge brackets. The solution is to replace the loose hardware with heavier-gauge bolts, or re-weld the hinge brackets directly to the metal gate frame. We handle these repairs often in Fredericksburg.

Absolutely. Fence removal or installation can often scuff, crack, or knock holes into exterior walls. We provide full wall patching and drywall repair for those areas. We match your existing texture type—knockdown, orange peel, or smooth finish—so the patch blends in seamlessly. Whether it’s a small hole from a lag bolt or a larger section near the bottom plate, we can fix it.

Wobbling usually happens when the wood rots where it meets the concrete, or the concrete itself has cracked or settled. The solution depends on the damage. For minor rot, we can brace the post with a metal post stabilizer driven into the concrete. For more severe wobble, we replace the post entirely, resetting it in fresh concrete. We also recommend checking for loose gate hardware, which can transfer motion to the post.
