Jay's Handiworks | Expert Fence Contractors in Lebanon, TN

In Lebanon, the combination of high humidity, heavy spring rains, and freeze-thaw cycles in winter can cause wooden fence posts to shift and rot. Over time, this loosens the gate hinges and warps the gate frame, leading to sagging. At Jay's Handiworks, we assess the post foundation, replace rotted wood, and reinforce hinges to correct the issue. If the damage is extensive, we recommend installing a new manual or automatic gate using pressure-treated lumber that withstands local weather.

Common signs include the gate opening or closing slowly, making grinding noises, or stopping midway. In Lebanon's climate, moisture can corrode electrical connections, and freeze-thaw cycles can misalign the gate track. If you notice these issues, it's best to call Jay's Handiworks. We inspect the motor, wiring, and sensors, and can also realign the gate or replace worn parts. For older systems, we offer automatic gate installation upgrades that are more reliable in Wilson County's weather.

Yes, we can. Leaning fences in Lebanon are often caused by storm winds loosening the posts in saturated soil. Our team will reset the posts with concrete footings below the frost line, replace any damaged rails or pickets, and ensure the fence is plumb and secure. We also provide fence installation for new sections if the damage is too severe. As part of our handyman services, we can also caulk gaps and repair gates to restore your property's privacy and curb appeal.
