Mikes | Trusted Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Erie, PA

After a heavy snow, look for leaning or sagging sections, cracked or split wooden posts, or gates that stick or won’t latch properly. You might also notice loose hinges or missing hardware. If you see any of these signs, it’s best to get a professional assessment before the next storm. Mikes can inspect and reinforce your fence or gate to prevent further damage.

Regular maintenance, like checking your battery, antifreeze levels, tire tread, and brakes, ensures your vehicle can handle icy roads and freezing temperatures. A well-maintained car is less likely to leave you stranded in a snowstorm. Mikes in Erie offers comprehensive auto maintenance services to keep your car running reliably all winter long.

Freezing shut often happens due to moisture buildup in hinges or a misaligned gate. A common solution is to adjust the gate’s alignment and apply a weather-resistant lubricant to all moving parts. In some cases, replacing metal components with corrosion-resistant materials can help. Mikes can diagnose the cause and provide a durable fix that keeps your gate working smoothly through Erie’s freeze-thaw cycles.
