Flores Gate Repair & Installation: Reliable Fence Installation Serving Crown Point, IN 46307

In Crown Point, sagging is often caused by heavy gates, loose hinges, or ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, wooden gates absorb moisture and gain weight, while metal gate posts can shift in wet soil. Signs include scraping against the driveway or a gap at the latch. Our solution is to replace rusted hinges, reset posts in concrete, and add anti-sag brackets. We also realign the gate so it swings freely again.

This usually happens because moisture gets trapped in the wood and then freezes, splitting the fibers. You’ll see vertical cracks, peeling stain, or warped pickets. The best fix is to remove damaged boards, sand rough areas, and apply a high-quality exterior wood sealer or stain. If the fence is older, we can also replace sections and weatherproof the entire structure. We do this for homes near the Lake County Fairgrounds and around Nottingham Lane.

The most common cause is a misaligned safety sensor or a power surge after a storm. Crown Point gets frequent lightning in summer, which can trip the circuit board. You might notice the gate stops, reverses, or beeps when trying to close. We first check and clean the photo eyes, then test the transformer voltage. If that doesn’t fix it, we replace damaged wiring or the logic board. We carry parts for most brands and can usually get your gate running the same day.
