Trusted Fencing Company in West Haverstraw, NY 10993 - Homestead Fence

Rail separation typically happens due to the freeze-thaw cycle common in our area. Moisture gets into the joints between rails and posts, then freezes and expands, gradually pushing the rails apart. Poor initial installation or untreated wood can worsen the problem. At Homestead Fence, we reinforce rails with galvanized brackets or replace damaged sections to prevent future separation.

Look for bent or leaning posts, loose or sagging fabric, and gaps where the fabric attaches to the top rail. After a heavy ice storm, you might also see broken tension wires or stretched chain link. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to call us for an inspection—ice damage can worsen over time and compromise your fence's security.

We start by assessing the extent of the damage. For minor issues, we tighten the fabric and replace damaged tension bands. If posts are bent, we straighten or replace them, and we re-anchor any loose concrete footings. For severe damage, we can install new chain link sections that match your existing fence. Our goal is to restore strength and durability so your fence can handle future winters.
