Stotsky Timothy Fencing - Hanover's Professional Fence Installation

Hanover's clay-rich soil holds moisture, which can cause posts to rot at the ground line or shift after heavy rain. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter also push posts out of alignment. At Stotsky Timothy Fencing, we assess the soil and post condition, then either reset the post with concrete for stability or replace rotted sections entirely. We make sure the new post is set deep enough and braced securely against future movement.

If the rot is isolated to just one or two boards and the posts are sound, we can often replace those sections and match the stain or paint. However, if multiple posts are soft or the entire fence has widespread decay, a full replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We'll inspect your fence free of charge and give you an honest, neighborly recommendation based on its actual condition.

A sagging gate usually means the hinge side is pulling away from the post, or the gate frame itself has weakened. In many older installations, the posts weren't set deeply enough for the gate's weight. At Stotsky Timothy Fencing, we can reinforce the post with concrete or replace it, adjust the hinges, and add a wheel or support bracket. We'll also check for any other issues like a sinking post on the latch side so the fix lasts.
