Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a wooden fence section to lean or blow over in Longview's wind?
In Longview, gusty winds common in spring and fall can loosen fence posts in sandy or clay soil. Over time, the post rots at ground level or the concrete footing cracks, causing the section to shift. Flex Handy Services reinforces leaning sections by replacing damaged posts, setting new concrete footings deeper, and reattaching rails to prevent future wind damage.
Why does my gate keep sagging even after I tighten the hinges?
Gate sagging often results from the gate's weight pulling the hinge screws out of the post over time, or the post itself leaning. In Longview's humid climate, wood can also warp. Flex Handy Services solves this by installing heavy-duty hinges with longer screws into a sturdy post, adding a gate wheel for support, or replacing the gate with a lighter material like vinyl that resists warping.
Can you install new windows in a house that has older wood-framed windows near downtown Longview?
Yes. Many older homes near downtown Longview still have wood window frames. Flex Handy Services removes the old window, checks the rough opening for rot or damage, and installs a modern vinyl or aluminum window that fits snugly. They properly insulate around the frame to prevent drafts, which helps lower energy bills in our hot summers and chilly winters.
