ML Construction | Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in Cranston, RI

Leaning fence posts in Cranston are often caused by frost heave, where freeze-thaw cycles push the soil and posts out of alignment. Our solution involves setting posts below the frost line (typically 36-48 inches deep) and using gravel or concrete footings to improve stability. For existing fences, we can reset and brace posts, or replace damaged sections to restore a straight, secure fence that handles Rhode Island winters.

Signs your deck needs more than a minor repair include spongy or rotted boards, loose railings, visible mold or mildew, and nails popping up. If the ledger board (where the deck attaches to your house) shows rot or separation, replacement is often safer. For decks near Garden City Center or in older Cranston neighborhoods, we inspect for these issues and recommend repair for localized damage or full replacement if more than 30% of the structure is compromised.

Absolutely. We frequently design combination structures that incorporate privacy fencing into deck railing, especially for homes near busy roads like Broad Street or in tight lots in the Auburn area. Using materials like composite or cedar, we can build a deck with tall, solid railing panels that create a private outdoor space while meeting local building codes. This approach saves space and cost compared to separate deck and fence projects.
