DBR Construction - Meriden's Professional Fence Contractors

Leaning fence posts are often due to soil erosion or frost heave. Meriden's freeze-thaw cycles can shift posts if they aren't set deep enough or if drainage is poor. DBR Construction addresses this by excavating and installing posts with concrete footings below the frost line, and regrading the area to improve water runoff.

Look for visible rot, cracked or broken rails, loose or missing boards, and sagging gates. If posts are rotted at the base or the fence leans noticeably, it's time for repair. DBR Construction can assess and repair masonry or concrete bases, reset posts, or replace sections with durable materials.

First, we excavate around the affected post to expose the footing. We remove the damaged concrete, check for underlying issues like poor drainage, then pour a new concrete foundation. If needed, we also regrade the area to prevent future problems. This ensures a stable base for the fence, often extending its life by years.
