Reliable Fence Contractors in Silver Spring, MD 20906 - Lemus Contracting Services

In Silver Spring, the most common cause is soil movement. Our heavy clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which can shift fence posts over time. If the posts weren't set below the frost line (about 30 inches locally), frost heave also pushes them up and out of position. The solution is to reset the posts at the proper depth with concrete footings. We can also repair sagging gate hinges or replace damaged rails to get your gate swinging smoothly again.

Not every crack means a full replacement. If the slab is structurally sound—meaning no sinking or major shifting—we can often repair the crack with a concrete polymer filler and resurface the spalled area to match the original finish. However, if water has gotten underneath and caused the base to erode, a section may need to be removed and re-poured. We'll inspect the driveway's drainage and sub-base first, then recommend the most cost-effective option for your Silver Spring home.

Yes, we handle sloped driveways all the time in Silver Spring. A cantilever sliding gate or an articulating hinge for a swing gate can accommodate the grade. We'll also check your power source and install a proper grounding rod to protect the opener from electrical surges common during summer storms. After installation, we'll test the auto-reverse safety feature and show you how to adjust the sensitivity so the gate operates reliably in all weather.
