Fence Contractors Allentown PA | Call Picket Fence Installation

The main cause is our local soil composition—clay-heavy ground that expands and contracts with moisture from heavy rains and snowmelt. This movement, combined with freeze-thaw cycles, can shift fence posts if they aren't set deep enough. Our solution is to dig post holes below the frost line (at least 30 inches) and use concrete footings with gravel drainage to prevent water buildup, keeping your pickets straight year-round.

Signs include multiple posts that are loose or rotted at the base, widespread cracking in the wood, or gates that won't latch due to sagging. If more than 30% of the fence is affected, replacement is often more cost-effective. We offer free on-site inspections in Allentown—just give us a call, and we'll check the posts, rails, and pickets to recommend the best path forward.

Absolutely. We frequently work in areas like the Old Allentown Historic District, where homeowners want a traditional white picket look that complements Victorian-era homes. We offer custom picket spacing, scalloped or dog-eared tops, and premium cedar or PVC materials that resist our humid summers. Our installations meet local zoning requirements while preserving the neighborhood's charm.
