FAQs
What are the common signs that my fence needs repair in Richmond, MI?
Common signs include leaning sections after heavy rain or wind, rotting wood at the base where posts contact wet ground, rusted gate hinges that stick or sag, and gaps between pickets caused by frost heave. If you notice any of these around your Richmond home, it’s best to have a professional inspect the fence before the next freeze-thaw cycle worsens the damage.
What causes wooden fence posts to rot so quickly in Richmond?
Richmond’s clay-heavy soil retains moisture, especially after spring rains and winter snowmelt. When wooden posts are set directly in this soil without proper drainage or a concrete collar, moisture wicks up into the wood, leading to rot. G and C Contracting addresses this by using gravel bases and pressure-treated lumber that’s rated for ground contact, extending the life of your fence.
Can you replace a gate that won’t close properly due to frost heave?
Yes. Frost heave shifts fence posts and gate frames, causing misalignment. G and C Contracting can adjust or replace the gate, resetting the post below the frost line and using longer screws for better stability. We’ll make sure your gate swings freely again, even after the ground thaws and refreezes each season.
