The company addresses these problems by using pressure-treated lumber and galvanized hardware, resetting posts on concrete footings, and offering custom gate repairs. Located just off Route 1 near the Laurel Shopping Center, MIKE AB FENCE provides prompt, on-site estimates and same-day emergency repairs for gates. Their work helps local homeowners restore privacy, security, and curb appeal without the hassle of DIY fixes or unreliable contractors.
Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to lean so quickly in Laurel, MD soil?
The heavy clay and loam soil around Laurel retains moisture and expands unevenly, causing shallow-set posts to tilt. MIKE AB FENCE solves this by digging deeper holes (at least 30 inches) and setting posts in concrete with gravel drainage, preventing the frost heave and shifting that are common in our local neighborhoods like Montpelier and Emory.
How do I know if my fence has rot or just surface mold?
Surface mold wipes off with a bleach solution and leaves wood firm underneath. Rot, however, feels soft or spongy when probed with a screwdriver, and the wood may crumble. In Laurel’s humid summers, rot often starts at the bottom of pickets where they touch wet grass. MIKE AB FENCE can inspect your fence and replace only the rotted sections, saving you from a full replacement.
My gate is sagging and dragging on the ground—can it be fixed without replacing the whole gate?
Yes, in most cases. Sagging gates are usually caused by loose hinges or a warped frame from moisture. MIKE AB FENCE can rehang the gate with heavy-duty hinges, add a corner brace, and adjust the latch. If the wood is still sound, this repair costs a fraction of a new gate and restores smooth operation. This is a common issue near Laurel’s older homes with wood gates.
