Expert Commercial Fencing in Greenwich, CT 6831 - Pemberwick Fence

The earliest signs are often a soft or spongy feel at the base of the posts, discoloration near the ground, and a musty smell after rain. You might also notice the wood splintering or paint peeling in spots that stay damp. Catching this early can save you from a full fence replacement. Pemberwick Fence can inspect the affected areas and recommend spot repairs or a pressure-treated replacement that resists our local humidity.

In most cases, we can repair the existing gate without replacing the whole structure. Common storm damage includes bent hinges, cracked posts, or a sagging gate. Our team will assess the damage—often we can reset the post, replace the hinges, and reinforce the frame. Only if the wood is severely rotted or split beyond repair would we recommend a new gate. We’ll always try the most cost-effective solution first. Just give us a call and we’ll come out to your neighborhood.

More often than not, it's due to frost heave. Our soil in Greenwich shifts during freeze-thaw cycles, which can push fence posts out of alignment, especially if they weren't set deep enough. This isn't usually a foundation problem, but it can weaken the structure over time. Pemberwick Fence can reset the posts, dig them deeper (typically below the frost line), and add concrete footings to prevent future leaning. It’s a straightforward fix that restores stability without replacing the entire fence line.
