Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that lake-effect snow has damaged my fence in Manitowoc?

Common signs include leaning or sagging fence sections, cracked or split wood, rusted hinges or latches, and gaps where snow has pushed boards apart. In Manitowoc, freeze-thaw cycles can also cause posts to heave out of the ground. If you notice these issues, it's a clear sign that your fence needs repair or replacement.

How does Harbortown Construction fix fence damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles?

We start by inspecting the entire fence for loose posts, warped rails, and damaged hardware. For minor issues, we replace individual boards and reset posts with deeper concrete footings. For severe damage, we recommend full replacement using weather-resistant materials like pressure-treated wood or vinyl. We also add proper drainage and weatherproofing to prevent future heaving.

Can you repair a fence that has rusted automatic gate hardware from lake-effect moisture?

Yes. We can replace rusted hinges, latches, and automatic gate openers with corrosion-resistant models. We also check and seal any exposed wiring. For long-term protection, we recommend applying a weatherproof coating or switching to galvanized or stainless steel components. This keeps your gate operating smoothly through Manitowoc's wet winters.
