Lee’s Fence and Welding | Local Residential Fencing in Milwaukee, WI

In Milwaukee, clay soil expands and contracts with freeze-thaw cycles, causing fence posts to shift. Poor drainage or shallow post holes accelerate this. Lee’s Fence and Welding addresses this by setting posts deeper (below frost line) and using concrete footings for stability.

Yes. Rust is often a surface issue from salt air or road salt. We grind down the rust, treat the metal, and apply a protective coating. If the rust has caused structural weakness, we weld in new sections of matching iron to preserve the gate’s original character.

If the metal has minor cracks or broken joints, a weld repair is usually sufficient. But if the gate has severe rust holes, warped framing, or broken hinges, a custom replacement might be more cost-effective. We offer free on-site evaluations to determine the best solution for your Bay View or Riverwest home.
