Commercial Fencing Gettysburg PA | Call Stotsky Adam Jr

Our clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles trap moisture against wood posts, causing rot often within 3–5 years. The solution is to replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber set in gravel and concrete, ensuring drainage away from the base. For metal or vinyl posts, we use a gravel backfill method to prevent frost heave. This keeps your fence stable through Gettysburg winters without premature failure.

A sagging gate almost always points to a weakened hinge connection or a leaning post, not just a bent latch. If the gap between the gate and the post is uneven, the hinge screws have likely pulled loose from the wood, or the post has shifted in the ground. We reinforce the hinge area with lag bolts into the post or replace the post entirely if it has rotted. This gets your gate swinging true again without forcing the latch.

Yes, we can match most existing styles in Gettysburg, including shadowbox, picket, or split-rail. We bring in the same lumber species and stain to blend the repair. If the original wood is no longer available, we can custom-mill a matching profile. The goal is a seamless fix so you don’t have to replace a full run of fencing when only one section is damaged.
