Supreme Concrete & Welding | Trusted Fence Contractors in Bend, OR

The main cause is Bend's freeze-thaw cycle. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can push against fence posts, especially if they aren't set deep enough or with proper concrete footings. This often happens in neighborhoods near the Deschutes River or areas with clay-heavy soil. Supreme Concrete & Welding solves this by digging deeper post holes and pouring concrete footings that extend below the frost line, providing a stable base even through the season changes.

It depends on the cause and severity. Often, hairline cracks in patio coverings are a sign of minor settling or surface wear, not structural failure. In many cases, we can repair the concrete with professional patching compounds and reinforce the area with welded rebar or metal supports. If your patio covering has metal posts or a welded frame showing rust or separation, we can weld new supports and re-secure the structure. We always assess first to avoid unnecessary replacement.

Sagging is usually a sign that the gate's hinges or frame have moved, often because the concrete post foundation has settled unevenly. The solution involves two steps: first, we check and reset the concrete footing to ensure the gate post is plumb and level. Then, we weld any loose joints, realign the hinges, and adjust the gate frame. If the gate itself is bent, we can weld in a new brace. This repairs the root cause—not just the symptom—so your gate swings freely for years.
