L & M Contracting - Allen's Experienced Fence Contractors

In Allen, the primary cause is the expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture levels. After heavy rain or drought, the ground can move, loosening the fence posts and causing panels to wobble. Additionally, strong winds and aging hardware can contribute. L & M Contracting assesses the soil conditions and post integrity to provide a lasting fix, often by resetting posts in concrete or using adjustable anchors.

Signs of gate sagging include the gate dragging on the ground, difficulty latching, or a noticeable gap between the gate and the post. You might also see the hinges pulling away from the post. If you notice any of these, it's best to call L & M Contracting. We’ll inspect the hinges, posts, and frame, then tighten or replace hardware, and may add a wheel or anti-sag kit to restore proper function.

The best solution depends on the cause, but often involves reinforcing the gate post with a concrete footing, installing heavy-duty hinges, and adding a turnbuckle or cable kit for diagonal support. L & M Contracting can also replace rotted wood or bent metal parts. For Allen's climate, we recommend using galvanized hardware and pressure-treated lumber to resist moisture and warping, ensuring your gate stays aligned for years.
