S&S Lawn | Experienced Privacy Fence Installation in Kansas City, MO

Leaning posts are often caused by soil saturation and erosion around the base, common in Kansas City's clay-heavy soil after storms. This compromises stability. As a solution, we can repair or replace the affected posts, setting them in concrete for better drainage and anchoring. If the fence is old or extensively damaged, we may recommend replacement with pressure-treated wood or a low-maintenance material like vinyl.

Peeling paint is often a sign that moisture is trapped beneath the surface, which can lead to wood rot, especially in our humid Kansas City climate. It's not just cosmetic. We offer fence and gate painting or staining, but first we assess the wood for rot or decay. If the wood is sound, we'll strip the old finish, let it dry, and apply a high-quality stain or paint. For severely damaged areas, we may recommend deck or fence repair or replacement.

Yes, this is a common issue due to gate sag from heavy use or shifting posts. The cause is often loose hinges or a settling post. We can repair the gate by tightening or replacing hinges, adding a sag kit, or adjusting the post. If the post is rotted or the gate frame is damaged, we may need to replace that section. Our goal is a long-term fix so your gate swings freely and latches securely.
