Common Questions
My fence in Carthage is leaning and has rust spots. What could be causing this, and can you fix it?
Leaning and rust are common signs of aging, especially in our humid Missouri climate. Often, the cause is weakened or rusted posts at the base, which can no longer support the fence's weight. At Rotan Welding & Fencing, we can assess the damage and often repair the section by replacing the affected posts and reinforcing the structure with new metal fabrication. If the rust is extensive, we can also recommend and install a more corrosion-resistant replacement.
A large tree branch fell on my fence after a storm. Can Rotan Welding & Fencing handle both the tree removal and the fence repair?
Absolutely. That's exactly the kind of situation we're built for. First, our tree service team will safely remove the fallen branch and any other hazards. Then, our metal fabrication experts will repair or replace the damaged fence sections. This single-source solution saves you time and hassle, and ensures the repair is done right, restoring your property's security and appearance quickly.
My gate in Carthage is hard to open and close. Is this a simple fix, or do I need a new one?
A stubborn gate is often a sign of a sagging hinge or a misaligned frame, not necessarily a total failure. The cause is usually ground movement or heavy use over time. Our solution is to inspect the hardware and the gate's frame. Often, we can weld a simple brace or replace the hinges to realign it. If the frame is too far gone, we can custom-fabricate a new, stronger gate that fits your existing posts perfectly. We'll give you an honest assessment before recommending any work.
