Fencing by Jason Smith | Local Commercial Fencing in Florence, AL

Gate sagging usually comes from worn hinges, loose screws, or a post that has shifted due to soil moisture changes common in our area. The first sign is a gate that drags on the ground or won’t latch properly. Fencing by Jason Smith can tighten or replace hinges, reinforce the post with concrete, or install a tension rod to realign the gate. We’ll also check for wood rot or rust so the repair lasts through Florence’s humid summers.

Look for leaning sections, cracked or splintered boards, and posts that wobble when pushed. If only a few panels are damaged and the posts are still solid, we can replace just those parts. But if more than 30% of the fence is failing or posts are rotted at ground level, a full replacement is often more cost-effective. We’ll inspect your fence near neighborhoods like Sherrod Drive and give you an honest recommendation.

Start with quality materials—pressure-treated wood or galvanized steel hinges resist moisture and rust. Regularly tighten screws and lubricate hinges twice a year. Keep vegetation away from fence posts to prevent rot, and check for standing water after heavy rains. For existing issues, Fencing by Jason Smith can add diagonal bracing to gates and replace rotted posts with concrete footings. A little maintenance goes a long way in our freeze-thaw cycles.
