Best Fencing Company in Wilmington, DE 19810 - M&V Handyman Service

We see this a lot in neighborhoods near Wawaset Park and Forty Acres. Old concrete footings and shifting soil can make fence sections sag. Our approach is to assess each post individually. Sometimes we can sister a new post to the existing one, or we break out the old concrete and set a new post with fresh gravel and concrete for proper drainage. For uneven grade, we custom-cut panels or use stepped rails so the fence follows the slope without gaps. Every repair is matched to the existing fence style and material so it blends in, not stands out.

Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice for decks here because it holds up well to humidity and is budget-friendly. Cedar and redwood are also good but cost more. Composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) is low-maintenance and resists moisture, splintering, and fading—good for families or rental properties. We build with both types and can help you weigh the upfront cost versus long-term upkeep. We also make sure the substructure is properly flashed and ventilated so the deck lasts, whether you're in Brandywine Hills or downtown.

Yes, we install both swing and slide automatic gates. For a Wilmington home, you'll need a power source near the gate—often a buried conduit from the house or garage. We handle the low-voltage wiring, gate opener, safety sensors, and any necessary gravel or concrete for the track. We also tie in a keypad or remote entry. We recommend checking local city setback rules and HOA guidelines before starting; we can help you navigate that. Whether you're off Union Street or near Rockford Park, we'll make sure the gate operates smoothly and safely.
