Fence Builders Louisville KY | Call Pikes & Son Contractor

Louisville's humid summers and frequent freeze-thaw cycles in winter can cause ground shifting and moisture buildup around wooden posts. Over time, this leads to rot at the base or leaning. Pikes & Son Contractor recommends using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts set in concrete to prevent these issues and keep your fence stable for years.

If your gate is dragging, sticking, or won't latch properly, it might just need hinge tightening or a post adjustment. But if you see cracked wood, rusted hardware, or the gate frame is sagging more than an inch, it likely needs professional repair. Pikes & Son Contractor can assess the damage and recommend whether a repair or full replacement is best for your home.

For a fence hit by a limb, the first step is to remove the debris safely. Then, inspect for broken rails, cracked pickets, or a shifted post. Pikes & Son Contractor can replace individual sections or posts, matching the existing style and material, so your fence looks seamless again. We also recommend trimming overhanging branches to prevent future damage.
