Q&A

What causes fence posts to lean or shift in Madison, WI?

The main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle common in Madison's winters. Repeated freezing and thawing of the soil can heave fence posts upward or sideways, especially if they weren't set deep enough or with proper drainage. Poor soil compaction and moisture buildup around the base can also lead to shifting over time.

How can I tell if my fence needs professional repair?

Look for signs like gates that drag or won't latch, visible gaps between boards, posts that are noticeably leaning or wobbly, and rotted wood at the base. If you see cracks, splintering, or rusted hardware, it's a good idea to have a carpenter assess the fence before the damage worsens, especially after a harsh winter.

How does Ken's Custom Construction fix a sagging gate or leaning fence?

We start by evaluating the soil and post depth. For leaning posts, we often reset them with concrete footings that extend below the frost line. For sagging gates, we adjust or replace hinges, add tension cables, or reinforce the frame. Our goal is to restore stability and alignment so your fence functions properly for years.
