Diversified Construction: Expert Residential Fencing Serving Elkhart, TX 75839

In Elkhart, the primary cause is moisture from heavy rains and clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts. This shifts fence posts over time, leading to leaning or rotting at the base. Diversified Construction addresses this by setting posts in concrete with proper drainage, using treated lumber or metal options to withstand local conditions.

If your gate drags on the ground, won't latch properly, or has gaps when closed, it's likely a sign of sagging hinges or a shifted post. In Elkhart, this often happens after wet seasons. Our experts can inspect the hardware and posts to determine if a simple adjustment or a full replacement is needed to restore smooth operation.

For aging wood fences, we recommend replacing rotted sections with pressure-treated pine or cedar, which resists moisture better. For gates, we install heavy-duty hinges and a tension rod to prevent sagging. Diversified Construction also offers metal fencing options that require less maintenance in our humid climate.
