Best Fence Contractors in Cottonwood Heights, UT 84047 - Smile Kings Contractors

The main cause is repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave the soil, along with heavy snow pressing against the fence. Signs include visibly tilted posts and gates that don't latch. Smile Kings solves this by excavating the affected post, setting it deeper with concrete below the frost line, and using gravel for drainage to prevent future movement.

Yes, it often indicates the gate post has shifted due to ground movement or the hinges have rusted from snow and moisture. Smile Kings will inspect the alignment, replace worn hinges, and re-set the post if needed. We also recommend seasonal adjustments to keep your gate swinging smoothly.

We start by assessing the damage—common signs are cracked pickets, broken rails, or loose panels. Smile Kings removes the damaged sections, reinforces the frame with pressure-treated lumber, and installs new matching boards. For areas near Big Cottonwood Creek, we use rot-resistant materials to handle the moisture.
