Top-Rated Residential Fencing in Indianapolis, IN 46222 - Rubio's Fencing

In Indianapolis, the ground shifts as it freezes and thaws, which can cause fence posts to heave or gates to stick. We address this by setting posts below the frost line (about 36 inches deep) and using concrete footings with gravel drainage to prevent water pooling. For existing fences, we can reset leaning posts and reinforce connections. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to protect wood from moisture damage. Free estimates include a site inspection to assess soil conditions and recommend the best solution for your property.

Yes, we install automatic gates for driveways and pedestrian entries in Indianapolis neighborhoods like Fountain Square, Carmel, and Zionsville. We work with brands such as LiftMaster and Mighty Mule, offering sliding or swing gates depending on your space. Our team handles all wiring, sensor placement, and safety features like photo eyes and auto-reverse. We also provide manual gate installation if you prefer a simpler option. Every job includes a walkthrough to ensure the gate operates smoothly and meets local safety codes.

The key is regular cleaning and sealing. For wood fences, we recommend applying a high-quality stain or weatherproofing sealant every two to three years. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grain and causing rot. For metal gates, we inspect for rust spots and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. In Indianapolis, where humidity and rain are common, we also advise keeping vegetation trimmed away from the fence to improve airflow. Our repair services can replace damaged boards or tighten loose hardware before small issues become big problems.
