Reliable Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Atlanta, GA 30344 - Strong Arm Fencing and Repair

Atlanta's heavy clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can shift fence posts and cause gates to become misaligned. Additionally, the weight of the gate itself, combined with humidity, can warp wood or loosen hardware over time. This often results in a gate that sags, sticks, or drags.

After a storm in Atlanta, check for leaning posts, cracked or splintered rails, and loose or missing pickets. If the fence is visibly leaning or the posts are rotted at the base, the damage is likely structural. A professional inspection can determine if sections need replacement or if a full repair is possible.

For storm-damaged fence sections, the most effective solution is to assess the affected posts first. We often need to replace damaged posts with pressure-treated wood set in concrete, then reattach the rails and pickets. This ensures the repair is as strong as the original, preventing future issues.
