David Lawless Construction | Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in Dallas, OR

Leaning fence posts are common here due to our heavy clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles, which can loosen the ground around standard set posts. The first sign is often a gate that drags or won't latch properly. David Lawless Construction solves this by removing the affected posts, digging deeper holes, and setting them in concrete below the frost line. We also use galvanized brackets and pressure-treated lumber to resist rot. For a long-term fix, we can install a new fence section with our reinforced post system, ensuring your property stays secure.

In Dallas, moisture can damage gate opener wiring or cause the track to rust. A common sign is the gate making a grinding noise or failing to open fully. First, check for visible corrosion on the control box or battery terminals. Our team can inspect the entire system, replace damaged wiring with waterproof connectors, and lubricate the track. If the motor is damaged, we offer manual gate conversion as a temporary fix or install a new heavy-duty automatic gate opener built for wet climates.

Yes, settling is common in Dallas due to our expansive soil. Signs include doors that stick, cracks in drywall above door frames, or gaps between the floor and baseboards. We use hydraulic jacks and steel shims to carefully lift your home to its original level, working one section at a time to avoid twisting the frame. After leveling, we also check for plumbing or ductwork misalignment. This service extends the life of your home and prevents further damage.
