Experienced Fence Contractors in Corfu, NY 14036 - R + R Fencing

Fence rail separation is commonly caused by the natural expansion and contraction of wood due to Corfu’s humid summers and freezing winters. Over time, fasteners loosen, and the weight of heavy gates or wind pressure can pull rails away from posts. Poor initial installation—such as using undersized nails or insufficient brackets—also accelerates this problem.

Visible gaps between rails and posts, sagging sections, leaning posts, and rotting at ground contact points are clear signs. You might also notice that gates no longer latch properly, or that boards are warped and splitting. If you see any of these issues, especially near the ground where moisture collects, it’s time to have a pro inspect your fence before the damage spreads.

We start with a thorough inspection to identify all weak spots. For separated rails, we re-secure them with corrosion-resistant screws or galvanized brackets, and replace any rotted sections with new pressure-treated lumber. In cases where posts have shifted, we may reinforce the foundation with concrete or install new post anchors. For severely aged systems, we recommend targeted replacement while preserving the sections that are still sound—saving you money and extending your fence’s life by years.
