Fences aRe Us - Hudson's Local Fence Contractors

Loose fence posts are often caused by the combination of sandy soil and high humidity in Hudson. Over time, moisture can cause the wood or the ground around the post to shift, and heavy rains can wash away soil support, leading to wobbling. This is especially common with older posts that weren’t set deep enough or without concrete reinforcement.

Look for soft or spongy spots at the base of the posts or along the bottom of the pickets. Discoloration, peeling paint, or a musty smell are also indicators. If you notice splitting or mushrooms growing near the wood, that’s a clear sign moisture has begun to decay the fence. Catching rot early can save you from needing a full replacement.

We start by assessing the damage and soil conditions. For loose posts, we can reset them with concrete footings for stability. For wood rot, we’ll replace the affected sections with treated lumber or suggest a more durable material like vinyl, which resists humidity. Our goal is to create a strong, long-lasting fence that holds up to Hudson’s wet climate.
