Q&A

What causes fence posts to lean or rot in Colfax, and how can Lewis Fence Co fix it?

In Colfax, the main cause is soil erosion from seasonal rains and snowmelt, which loosens the ground around posts. Over time, this leads to leaning or rot. Our solution involves removing the damaged post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it in concrete with proper drainage. For existing fences, we can install gravel backfill or post anchors to stabilize them. We also offer weatherproofing treatments to prevent future moisture damage.

Why do my fence panels keep cracking, and what repair options do you offer?

Fence panel cracking in Colfax is often due to extreme temperature swings and dry summer conditions that cause wood to expand and contract. Our repair services include replacing individual cracked panels, reinforcing joints with metal brackets, or using more flexible materials like cedar or composite. We can also apply a high-quality stain or sealant to minimize further cracking.

Can you install a new fence that resists erosion and cracking from the start?

Absolutely. For new fence installations, we choose materials suited to Colfax's climate, such as pressure-treated wood or vinyl. We dig post holes deeper than standard, use concrete footings, and add gravel for drainage. We also space panels to allow for natural expansion and apply weatherproofing during installation. This approach reduces the risk of future erosion and cracking.
