Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a wooden fence to lean or sag in Lansing, and how can KCW Trades fix it?
In Lansing, wooden fences often lean due to frozen ground heaving in winter, followed by wet springs that soften the soil around posts. Over time, this loosens the concrete footings. KCW Trades can solve this by resetting the posts with deeper concrete bases or replacing them with galvanized steel brackets, ensuring your fence stays straight through all four seasons.
My fence gate won't close properly after a storm. Is this a sign of a bigger problem?
A gate that drags or won't latch often means the fence posts have shifted or the hinges are rusted. In Lansing, this is common after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles. KCW Trades will inspect the posts for movement and the gate for warping. We can adjust hinges, replace hardware, or realign the post to prevent future issues, saving you from a full replacement.
Can pressure washing remove the green algae from my fence near the Grand River?
Yes, especially in Lansing's humid areas near the Grand River or Lake Lansing, algae and mildew thrive on shaded fence panels. KCW Trades uses a soft-wash method with eco-friendly cleaners to kill the growth, then low-pressure rinsing to avoid damaging the wood. After cleaning, we can also apply a sealant to protect against future buildup.
