Questions and Answers
How does JL Custom Iron Works fix fence post movement common in Corona's soil?
In Corona, soil shifts can cause fence posts to lean over time. We dig out the loose post, add a larger concrete footing with rebar reinforcement, and set the post below the frost line. This method stabilizes the post against our local clay and decomposed granite soils, preventing future movement. We also check for any rust or damage and repair or replace sections as needed.
Do you paint or stain iron fences and gates to match my Corona home's look?
Yes, we offer professional painting and staining for fences and gates. We start by sanding down any rust or old paint, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and a durable topcoat. For a natural look, we can stain the metal to match your home's style. We also add a clear weatherproofing sealant to protect against Corona's sun and occasional rain, extending the life of your fence.
What should I do if my gate is sagging or not closing properly?
A sagging gate is often due to worn hinges or a shifted post. We inspect the hinges, tighten or replace them, and check the gate frame for warping. If the post has moved, we realign the post and re-set it in concrete. Then we adjust the latch and hinges so the gate swings smoothly again. For older iron gates, we also reinforce weak welds to prevent future sagging.
