Common Questions
What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Des Moines, and how can I & P Contracting fix it?
Freeze-thaw cycles in Iowa cause soil to expand and contract, which can push fence posts out of alignment. I & P Contracting addresses this by regrading the area to improve drainage and resetting posts in concrete for a stable foundation. We also offer fence repair and weatherproofing to prevent future damage.
My automatic gate isn't opening or closing properly. What could be wrong, and how can you help?
Common signs include a gate that sticks, makes grinding noises, or reverses mid-cycle. This is often due to misaligned hinges, worn gears, or electrical issues after heavy rain or snow. I & P Contracting provides automatic gate repair, including sensor recalibration, hinge adjustment, and motor replacement to restore smooth operation.
After a storm, my wooden fence has several warped or cracked panels. What’s the best solution?
Wind and moisture can cause warping, cracking, and rot in wooden fences. I & P Contracting offers fence repair by replacing damaged panels and reinforcing the structure. We also recommend weatherproofing with stain or sealant to protect against future moisture damage and extend the fence's life.
