Q&A
How does Precision Fence handle fence posts in Lincoln’s clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles?
Lincoln’s soil has a high clay content, which expands and contracts significantly with moisture and temperature changes. We dig post holes deeper than the frost line (around 36 inches) and use a gravel base for drainage before setting posts in concrete. This technique minimizes heaving and keeps your fence straight and secure for years. We also account for slight soil shifts when installing automatic gates to ensure smooth operation year-round.
Can you paint or stain an existing wooden fence, and how long does the finish typically last in Nebraska weather?
Yes, we offer fence painting and staining for both new and existing wood fences. We first clean and lightly sand the surface, then apply a high-quality exterior stain or paint with UV protection. In Nebraska’s climate, a proper stain can last 3-5 years, while paint may need refreshing every 4-6 years. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to extend the life of the wood against moisture and sun damage.
What types of automatic gate openers do you install, and do you provide repair services for existing gates?
We install automatic gate openers for swing and sliding gates, including solar-powered and hardwired options. We carry brands like LiftMaster and Mighty Mule. Yes, we repair most automatic gate systems—common issues we fix include misaligned tracks, faulty sensors, and worn motors. We serve both residential driveways and commercial entry points throughout Lincoln.
