Local Fencing Company in Cincinnati, OH 45227 - Hamilton Company

Leaning posts are usually caused by frost heave in Cincinnati's clay-heavy soil. When water freezes and thaws near the surface, it pushes unsecured posts out of alignment. Our solution is to remove the leaning sections, dig new holes below the frost line, set the posts in concrete, and allow proper drainage around the base. This keeps your fence straight through many seasons.

A dragging gate often indicates that a fence post is sinking or leaning, not just a hinge adjustment. In the Cincinnati area, soil settlement near older foundations or downspouts can shift posts. Hamilton company will check your post alignment first. If the post is stable, we can adjust hinges or rehang the gate. If the post has moved, we'll reset it to ensure your gate swings freely without scraping concrete.

Rot at the bottom is common in shady yards with poor airflow, especially near Clifton or areas with lots of trees. We can often replace only the rotted pickets and the bottom rail if the posts and top rail are sound. We match the wood type and stain as closely as possible. For fences with extensive rot spreading up into the posts, a partial or full replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll inspect and give you honest recommendations.
