McKinsey Fencing - Boulder's Reliable Residential Fencing

Leaning fence posts in Boulder are often caused by the high winds loosening the soil around the posts, or by posts that weren't set deep enough to begin with. Frost heave can also shift them over time. At McKinsey Fencing, we can often reset your existing posts by digging them out, adding concrete or gravel for a stable base, and ensuring they are plumb. In cases where the wood is rotted or the metal is bent, we'll replace the post entirely. We'll match the style so your fence looks consistent and stands strong against the next storm.

A gate that drags or won't latch is a common sign of a sagging hinge or a gate that has twisted due to weather exposure. Over time, the weight of the gate, combined with our dry climate and occasional moisture, can loosen the screws or warp the frame. The solution is usually straightforward: we'll tighten or replace the hinges, and sometimes add a diagonal brace to reinforce the gate's frame. If the gate post has shifted, we may need to reset that post first. We'll get your gate swinging freely and latching securely again.

Absolutely. We regularly handle partial fence repairs in Boulder, and matching existing styles is part of what we do. We'll come out to look at the remaining sections, note the board spacing, style (like shadowbox or board-on-board), and the type of wood or metal used. We can source materials that closely match your current fence. If the exact material is no longer available, we'll discuss options that blend in well, such as a slightly different wood stain or a complementary panel design. The goal is to make the repair as seamless as possible.
