Professional Fence Builders in Ozone Park, NY 11416 - Murphy Fence

Frost heave from cold winters and soft soil near drainage areas often shift fence posts out of plumb. Murphy Fence first assesses the ground condition, then re-drills and sets posts with concrete footings below the frost line. For minor sags, we adjust tension wires or replace rotted sections. The result is a straight, stable fence that withstands seasonal changes.

Look for peeling, fading, or water beading that no longer repels rain. If the wood feels rough or splintery, the stain has failed. Murphy Fence power-washes the surface, applies a wood conditioner, and uses a semi-transparent stain matched to your existing color. This restores protection and extends the fence’s life by 3–5 years.

Yes. Misaligned gates often stem from settling posts or swollen hinges. We check the post plumb, adjust hinge placement, and shim the latch mechanism. If the gate frame is twisted, we reinforce it with brackets. This ensures smooth operation and security, especially important for busy driveways near Cross Bay Boulevard.
