H&W Restoration: Fence & Gate Repair in Gay, GA

Gate sagging is often caused by loose hinges, a settling post, or the weight of the gate pulling against the frame. In Gay's clay-rich soil, posts can shift over time, making the gate drag. H&W Restoration inspects the post stability, replaces worn hinges, and may add a tension cable or wheel to relieve stress. For severe sags, they reset the post with concrete and adjust the alignment so the gate swings freely and latches correctly.

Signs of wind damage include leaning panels, loose pickets, broken rails, or gaps where sections have pulled apart. High winds common during Georgia spring storms can weaken fence connections. H&W Restoration assesses each section, replacing broken boards, re-securing rails to posts with galvanized screws, and reinforcing corner braces. They also check the post foundations and re-set any that have shifted to prevent future issues.

A gate that won't latch often indicates a misaligned frame or a sinking hinge. H&W Restoration starts by checking the post for plumb and adjusting the gate's position. They can replace corroded latch hardware with heavy-duty, weather-resistant options, and install self-closing hinges if needed. For uneven terrain, they may add a drop rod or magnetic catch. Their goal is a secure, smooth-operating gate that matches your home's look.
