Common Questions
What causes a fence to lean or sag in Philadelphia?
Philadephia's freeze-thaw cycles cause concrete footings to heave and rot, while high winds can loosen posts. Water pooling near the fence base also softens the soil. Handyman Vadim corrects leaning fences by resetting posts with proper drainage and concrete, and reinforces the structure with lag bolts or new rails.
How do I know if my wood fence needs weatherproofing?
Signs include peeling paint, gray or brittle wood, and visible splintering. Water absorption through cracks leads to rot. Vadim recommends a breathable stain or sealant applied every 2-3 years. He offers thorough cleaning and weatherproofing to extend your fence's life regardless of the Philly weather.
Can Handyman Vadim fix a gate that won't latch properly?
Yes. Often caused by a sagging hinge, loose latch, or warped gate frame due to moisture. Vadim tightens or replaces hinges, adjusts the latch, and reinforces the gate with a crossbeam if needed. For masonry posts, he can install new anchors to secure the gate solidly.
