KEP Roofing & Fencing | Reliable Commercial Fencing in Dalton, GA

In our area, soft ground after rain can shift a gate’s posts. Over time, the weight of the gate often pulls the hinges out of alignment. Sometimes, the wood itself warps from humidity. If your gate sticks or won’t latch, it’s usually one of these issues. We’ll inspect the posts, hinges, and frame, then tighten or replace what’s needed to get it swinging freely again.

Look for small splits in the wood, especially near the bottom where moisture sits. If the paint or stain is peeling, that’s a clue water is getting in. You might also see the fence leaning slightly or feel a picket wiggle when you push it. Ignoring these can lead to bigger damage. We can replace just the bad pickets and weatherproof the rest to stop future rot.

If the wood feels rough or shows cracks less than a quarter-inch deep, a good weatherproofing sealant might be enough. But if you see splintered sections, loose nails, or holes, those need repair first. We’ll check the entire fence, fix any weak spots, then apply a weatherproof coating to protect against Dalton’s humidity and rain. It’s a two-step process that saves money on full replacements down the road.
