Grand Rapids Fencing | Reliable Residential Fencing in Grand Rapids, MI

In Grand Rapids, the main cause is frost heave from our freezing winters and the freeze-thaw cycle in spring. When the ground repeatedly freezes and thaws, it can shift fence posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Our team addresses this by setting posts below the frost line and using concrete footings to keep them stable year-round.

Look for soft or spongy spots on the wood, peeling paint, or a musty smell near the base. In our humid summers, moisture can get trapped between boards, leading to decay. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to call us for an inspection—we can replace damaged sections and recommend water-resistant materials to prevent future issues.

Absolutely. Snow and ice often cause gates to sag or misalign due to frozen ground or swollen wood. We'll assess the hinges, posts, and latch, then adjust or replace hardware as needed. For a long-term fix, we can install heavier-duty hinges and weatherproof seals to keep your gate functioning smoothly through every season.
