Hard Knox Construction | Experienced Privacy Fence Installation in Shamokin, PA

This is common in Shamokin due to our freeze-thaw cycles and high moisture. The cause is usually ground contact rot or frost heave shifting the posts. We can solve this by replacing the rotted sections with pressure-treated or cedar posts set in concrete below the frost line, and using galvanized hardware. We often perform this work for homes near the Shamokin Area School District and along the Trevorton Road corridor.

Cracked, uneven concrete can be a sign of soil settlement or poor base preparation — common in older Shamokin properties near the riverbank. While minor cracks are cosmetic, significant shifting can create tripping hazards. Our solution is to either mudjack the slab to lift it back into place or, if the damage is extensive, remove and repour the concrete with proper reinforcement. We’ve fixed many patios in the Edgewood neighborhood this way.

Absolutely. A loose gate post is often caused by the wood rotting at the base or the concrete footing failing. We can usually repair it by removing the old post, installing a new one with a strong concrete footer, and reattaching the gate with heavy-duty hinges. This is a cost-effective fix for many Shamokin homes, especially those with older chain-link or wooden gates along Independence Street.
