More often than not, we can swap out just the latch without touching the rest of the gate. Because Dublin gets humid summers that can seize up standard hardware, we usually install a heavy-duty galvanized or stainless steel latch that resists rust and warping. Our crew will inspect the gate frame first to make sure it’s square and the post hasn’t shifted. If the post has eroded from the clay soil, we’ll reset it with concrete before mounting the new latch.

Fence post erosion is a frequent problem around Dublin because the topsoil is shallow and clay gets soft when it’s wet. We dig each post hole at least 24 inches deep, then pour a concrete collar around the base to anchor it. For extra stability in low-lying areas or near drainage paths, we also recommend adding gravel at the bottom of the hole before the concrete. This keeps water from pooling against the wood. If you already have a leaning post, we can pull it out, clean the hole, and repack it with fresh concrete.

Yes. We do both staining and painting as part of the installation or as a separate service for existing fences. For a new fence, we can apply the stain or paint right after the wood is installed, which usually helps it last longer because the wood is still dry. We carry several exterior-grade stains that match common Dublin home colors, and we can also order specific custom colors if you have a certain shade in mind. The prep work includes pressure washing and letting the wood cure for a day or two before the finish goes on.
