Questions and Answers

My wooden fence posts near the bottom are rotting and the gate is sagging. What could be causing this, and can you fix it?

Rotting fence posts in Salt Lake City are often caused by ground moisture from snowmelt or sprinklers, especially in neighborhoods with clay-heavy soil like those around Liberty Park. The sagging gate is usually a sign that the hinge screws have loosened in the deteriorating wood. At Ricos Fabrications, we can repair or replace the rotted posts and gate, and we often recommend adding gravel drainage and using weatherproofing treatments to prevent future issues. We also offer metal reinforcement or complete metal fence installation for a longer-lasting solution.

My automatic gate suddenly stopped opening. It makes a humming sound but doesn't move. What should I do?

A humming sound without movement usually indicates a mechanical block or a worn-out gear in the gate opener. In Salt Lake City, cold winter temperatures can also cause lubricant to thicken. Before calling, check the tracks for debris or ice. If that’s clear, the issue may be internal. Our team at Ricos Fabrications can diagnose and repair automatic gates for homes across the valley, including near the Avenues and East Bench. We carry parts for most major brands and can get your gate working safely again.

My deck boards are starting to warp and the railing feels loose. Is it time for a full replacement?

Warped boards and a loose railing are signs that your deck has been exposed to moisture and the freeze-thaw cycles we get in Salt Lake City. While a full replacement might be necessary if the ledger board or joists are compromised, we often can repair the affected sections. At Ricos Fabrications, we’ll inspect your entire structure, tighten the railing connections, and replace only the damaged boards. If the deck is older than 15 years and the support structure is failing, we can design and build a new deck to match your home’s style.
