Q&A
What causes fence posts to lean after winter in Madison?
The freeze-thaw cycle common in Madison can shift the soil around your fence posts, causing them to lean or heave. This happens when water in the ground freezes, expands, and then thaws, creating movement. Our team at Rick's Home Renovating can reset and reinforce your posts with concrete footings set below the frost line to prevent future shifting.
How do I know if my gate needs professional repair?
Signs include a gate that drags on the ground, won't latch properly, or sags on its hinges. These issues often stem from warped wood or loosened hardware due to moisture and temperature changes. If you notice any of these, it's best to call us for a quick inspection and repair to avoid further damage.
Can Rick's Home Renovating install a fence that withstands Wisconsin winters?
Absolutely. We use pressure-treated wood, galvanized steel posts, and weather-resistant vinyl that are built to handle Madison's freeze-thaw cycles and snow loads. For gates, we install heavy-duty hinges and self-closing mechanisms. We'll also recommend the best materials for your specific property near Lake Mendota or the Capitol area.
