Noank Fence & Construction: Trusted Privacy Fence Installation Serving North Stonington, CT 6359

Yes, this is very common here due to our freeze-thaw cycles and sandy, rocky soil. When frost pushes posts up, it throws the whole fence off. As a general contractor, we can reset your posts deeper (at least 3 feet) with concrete and gravel for drainage. We'll also adjust or replace the gate hinges to get everything square again. It's a straightforward repair for our crew, and we'll make sure the fix lasts through our Connecticut winters.

We recommend building the deck first, then the fence. As a construction company, we can handle both, but building the deck first lets us set its posts and beams without the fence getting in the way. After the deck is framed, we install the fence around the perimeter. This sequence also avoids damaging a new fence with heavy equipment or lumber deliveries. We can coordinate the entire project as your single contractor, saving you time and ensuring everything ties together properly.

For properties near wooded areas like those off Route 2 or along the Pawcatuck River, a tall privacy fence (6 to 8 feet) works best. We typically install pressure-treated pine or vinyl panels that are sturdy enough to deter deer. We also set the bottom of the fence tight to the ground or bury a wire mesh to stop smaller animals from digging under. As a local contractor, we know the wildlife patterns here and can suggest the right height and material for your specific lot.
