Professional Commercial Fencing in Marshall, MI 49068 - Go Getters Fence and Repair Service

This is a common issue in Marshall due to wet springs and freeze-thaw cycles. Moisture seeps into the wood, and when it freezes, it expands and splits the fibers. Rot also develops where soil or mulch contacts the fence. We can assess the damage and replace rotted sections, reset posts, and then weatherproof the entire fence to prevent future moisture damage. If the rot is extensive, we may recommend a full replacement, but we always focus on repairing what we can first.

Several things could cause this: a misaligned track from frost heave, a worn motor, or a broken spring. Sometimes the sensors get blocked by debris or snow. We start by inspecting the tracks and gears for visible damage, then test the motor and control board. Most of the time, it's a simple adjustment or part replacement. We serve all of Marshall, including neighborhoods near Fountain Circle, and can usually get your gate working smoothly in one visit.

With our climate, we recommend staining or painting every 2 to 3 years. Wood fences exposed to direct sun or heavy rain may need a bit more frequent care. Applying a high-quality, weatherproofing stain helps prevent cracking, warping, and fading. If you notice the color looking dull or water no longer beading on the surface, it's time to refinish. We can power wash, repair any damage, and apply fresh stain or paint to extend the life of your fence.
