Fence & Gate Repair in Shreveport, LA | Fairfield Avenue School of Fencing

In Shreveport, high winds from storms often cause fence panels to detach or posts to lean. This happens when the concrete base shifts in our clay soil. Our solution involves replacing damaged posts with deeper-set, reinforced concrete footings and using heavy-duty brackets to secure panels. We also recommend wind-resistant designs, like spaced pickets, to reduce future blowout risks.

Gate misalignment is common in Shreveport due to soil expansion and contraction from humidity and drought. This causes posts to shift, throwing the gate off-kilter. We solve this by installing adjustable gate hinges that allow for fine-tuning as the ground settles. We also check the post depth and replace it with a treated 4x4 post set in gravel for better drainage and stability.

Often, we can repair storm-damaged fences without full replacement. If only a few panels are blown out or the gate is misaligned, we replace those sections and reinforce the structure. We assess the remaining posts for rot or shifting—common in Shreveport's humid climate—and only recommend a full replacement if more than half the fence is compromised. This saves you money and keeps your yard secure.
