Professional Fence Builders in Headland, AL 36345 - Gilbert's Elite Service

Leaning fence posts are often caused by soil saturation and erosion around the post base after heavy rain. The ground in Headland, especially near areas like the Chattahoochee River basin, can become soft, allowing posts to shift. Gilbert's Elite Service solves this by excavating around the post, adding gravel for drainage, and resetting it with concrete to ensure stability. We also check for signs of rot or insect damage that may weaken the post.

Sun exposure in Headland can cause wood fences to fade or turn gray over time. The best solution is applying a UV-protective stain or sealant after cleaning. Gilbert's Elite Service recommends using high-quality, semi-transparent stains that penetrate the wood and block UV rays. We also suggest periodic cleaning and reapplication every 2-3 years to maintain color and prevent drying and cracking.

Yes, Gilbert's Elite Service offers painting for fences, gates, and other exterior structures as part of our handyman and painter services. We start by power washing and sanding to remove old paint or discoloration, then apply a primer and exterior-grade paint or stain. This protects against local weather conditions, including intense sun and humidity, and helps your fence match your home's look.
