Q&A
What causes fence posts to become unstable in Red Oak, and how can you fix it?
In Red Oak, the main cause is soil movement due to the area's clay-rich soil, which expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This can loosen the concrete base around your fence posts over time. Signs include a leaning fence or a gate that drags on the ground. Fineis Construction can repair this by resetting the post with a deeper, more stable foundation or using a gravel base to improve drainage. We also offer full fence repair and replacement if the damage is extensive.
My automatic gate won't close properly after recent rains. Is this a common issue?
Yes, it's common in Red Oak after heavy rain. Moisture can affect the gate's sensor alignment or cause the track to shift due to soil saturation. Check for visible debris or mud buildup first. If the problem persists, Fineis Construction can inspect and adjust the gate's automatic mechanism, realign sensors, and ensure the gate frame is level. We also provide automatic gate repair and weatherproofing to prevent future issues.
How do I know if my fence needs weatherproofing or just a simple repair?
Look for signs like peeling paint, visible rot at the base, or loose boards that don't hold up to wind. If the fence is structurally sound but shows wear, weatherproofing with a sealant or stain can extend its life. However, if posts are wobbly or there are large gaps, repair is needed first. Fineis Construction offers both fence repair and weatherproofing services in Red Oak, and we can assess your fence to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
