Experienced Fence Contractors in Chester, VA - Seegar's Fence

In Chester's humid climate, moisture wicks into untreated wood, causing decay. This often happens when posts are set in concrete without proper drainage. Seegar's can replace rotted posts with pressure-treated or composite materials, using gravel bases to improve drainage. We'll also check for soil grade issues that trap water.

A sagging gate usually means the hinges are loose or the gate frame has twisted due to moisture changes. It can signal a leaning post underneath. Seegar's can adjust hinges, reinforce the frame, or replace the gate entirely. Left unchecked, it can damage the latch and strain the fence line.

Gaps often result from uneven ground or erosion after rain. Seegar's can install a gravel bar, add a bottom rail with chicken wire, or use a trench and backfill method to close the gap. For persistent diggers, we recommend extending the fence below grade with a metal or mesh barrier.
