Fence Doctor of Cincinnati | Reliable Fence Contractors in Cincinnati, OH

After a heavy storm, look for leaning posts, cracked or splintered rails, loose pickets, and gates that drag or won't close properly. In older neighborhoods like Mount Adams or Clifton, wind can also loosen hardware or cause sagging in sections. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to address them quickly to prevent further damage.

That’s usually caused by moisture and rot, which is common in our humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. If caught early, we can replace the affected boards and treat the area with a preservative. For more widespread damage, we may recommend a partial rebuild or converting to a low-maintenance material that holds up better in the Cincinnati climate.

Yes, in most cases we can. First, we check if the posts are still set firmly in concrete — settling in older neighborhoods like East Walnut Hills can shift them. Then we inspect the hinges and latch alignment. Often a simple adjustment or new hinge pins and a catch will restore smooth operation. If rust is severe, we can cut out and weld in new sections to match the original design.
