Fence Installation Denver CO | Call Sunshine Fence Builds And Repair

Denver’s expansive clay soil shifts significantly with seasonal moisture changes, causing fence posts to heave, lean, or crack. This is especially common near the South Platte River and in older neighborhoods like Washington Park. Our solution involves setting posts with a concrete collar that extends below the frost line and using pressure-treated or steel posts that resist soil movement. We’ll inspect your fence, identify if the soil is the culprit, and re-set or replace posts as needed to ensure long-term stability.

Look for subtle signs: doors or gates that stick or don’t latch properly, loose pickets, rust spots on metal components, or visible gaps at the bottom of posts where soil has pulled away. Denver’s dry air and intense UV radiation also cause wood to dry, crack, and warp over time. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call us before wind or snow causes further damage. Sunshine Fence Builds And Repair will assess the whole system—from hinges to post bases—and recommend targeted repairs that keep your fence functional without needing a full replacement.

Yes, we often handle combined issues, especially common in older Denver homes near the Capitol Hill or Baker neighborhoods. Wood rot typically occurs at ground contact points or under pickets where snow sits, while iron or steel hardware rusts from our freeze-thaw cycles and road salt in winter. Our process includes cutting out rotted wood sections, replacing them with rot-resistant materials like cedar or composite, and swapping out rusted hinges or gate latches with galvanized or stainless steel hardware. We’ll also treat surrounding wood to prevent future decay, giving your fence a complete refresh.
