Fence Installation Lewisburg WV | Call Jay Bennett Fencing

The most common sign we see in Lewisburg is leaning fence posts, especially after a wet winter or spring thaw. This happens because clay soil around here holds moisture and shifts during freeze-thaw cycles. The solution is to dig down past the frost line, usually about 24 inches, and set posts in concrete with proper drainage. We also recommend pressure-treated or cedar posts for better longevity.

Dragging gates in Lewisburg are usually caused by post movement or sagging hinges – often from ground freeze and thaw. Yes, we can almost always fix this without replacing your fence. We can reset the post footing, adjust the gate frame with tension cables, or install heavier hinges to handle the weight. It’s a simple, neighborly fix that saves you money.

Absolutely. We work on many homes in and around the Lewisburg National Register Historic District. We can match existing styles and materials, whether it’s a traditional picket fence or a wrought-iron gate. We also know the local permitting and HOA requirements, so you don’t have to worry about compliance.
