Kingfisher Custom Woodwork: Reliable Privacy Fence Installation Serving Colorado Springs, CO 80911

This usually happens when fence rails are nailed instead of screwed, or when the wood has dried and shrunk. The constant gusting we get along the Front Range can work those fasteners loose. For repair, we can re-secure or replace the affected rails using structural screws and add wind‑resistant brackets. If the damage is widespread, a full panel replacement with hurricane‑tie connections may be a better long‑term solution.

Soft spots near posts usually indicate rot from trapped moisture, especially after heavy snowmelt in spring. Colorado Springs’ freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate that. If the rot is limited to a few boards or the rim joist, we can cut out the damaged wood and replace it. If the rot has spread to the ledger board or main support beams, a partial or full deck replacement may be needed to keep the structure safe.

Yes, we can. A gate that won’t latch often has a bent hinge ora twisted frame from the impact. We’ll straighten or replace the hardware, and check whether the gate post has shifted. If the post is loose, we can set it with concrete or a gravel‑backed footing. We’ll also make sure the latch aligns properly so it stays closed even on windy days.
