Fairport Decking & Carpentry | Trusted Residential Fencing in Fairport, NY

Sagging in Fairport is often caused by soil freeze-thaw cycles shifting the gate posts, or by hardware rusting from moisture exposure. We solve this by checking the post for level and plumb, replacing rusted hinges with galvanized or stainless steel options, and installing a tension cable kit if needed. For severe cases, we may reset the post with fresh concrete to ensure stability.

Most of the time, you only need to replace the latch. In Fairport, latch failures are often due to corrosion or misalignment from a slightly sagging gate. We can install a heavy-duty, weather-resistant latch and realign the gate. Only if the gate frame is rotted or the post is badly damaged would we recommend a full replacement. We’ll inspect both to give you the most cost-effective solution.

We use high-quality exterior-grade stains and sealants that resist our local humidity and temperature swings. For gates, we add weatherproof hinges and latches made of powder-coated steel or stainless steel. We also make sure the bottom of the gate has adequate clearance for snow and that the post is properly capped to prevent water infiltration. This routine maintenance can double the life of your fence and gate hardware.
