Nissing Family Construction - Alvin's Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing
Alvin, TX 77511
Q&A
Why do fence posts in Alvin tend to lean or become unstable?
Alvin’s soil is mostly clay, which expands when wet and contracts during dry spells. This movement can loosen fence posts over time. At Nissing Family Construction, we dig post holes deeper than standard (at least 24 inches) and use a gravel base for drainage, then set posts in concrete to minimize shifting. This method is especially effective for homes near the Brazoria County line, where soil conditions vary.
Can you fix a sagging gate on an existing fence?
Yes, sagging gates are a common issue we see in Alvin, often caused by heavy use or worn hardware. We can adjust the hinges, replace them with heavier-duty models, or install a tension rod to redistribute weight. If the gate frame itself is warped, we’ll rebuild it on-site. We’ve done this for many homes in the Oak Park neighborhood and near Alvin High School.
What general contracting services do you offer besides fences and gates?
We handle a wide range of residential contracting work, including deck repairs, small additions, and interior renovations. Since the owner has 15 years of experience in construction, we can take on projects like building a shed, replacing rotten siding, or remodeling a bathroom. We focus on jobs that require a reliable, hands-on contractor rather than a large crew.
