FAQs
What’s the most common sign that a fence has storm damage in Newark, DE?
The most obvious sign is a panel that’s leaning or has pulled away from the post, especially after a heavy snow or windstorm. You might also notice a gate that drags or won’t latch properly, or visible cracks in vinyl or wood sections. If a post feels loose or is sinking into the ground, that’s another reliable indicator.
Why do fence posts lean so often in Newark’s soil, and how does FJP Fence fix it?
Newark has a mix of clay and sandy loam soil that can shift with freeze-thaw cycles. When a post isn’t set deep enough or the concrete footing cracks, the whole fence moves. FJP Fence digs down below the frost line (about 30 inches) and uses a wide concrete collar. For replacement posts, they’ll also add gravel at the base for drainage.
Can FJP Fence repair just a single storm-damaged section, or do I need a whole new fence?
In most cases, yes, they can replace just the damaged panels and reset the affected posts. They’ll match the existing material and style—whether it’s pressure-treated pine, vinyl, or aluminum—so the repair blends in. Only if several posts are rotten or the framing is rotted would a full replacement be recommended.
