Texas 1st Concrete Construction - Princeton's Professional Wood and Vinyl Fencing

Loose fence panels are often caused by soil movement, especially in areas with clay-rich soil common in Princeton. Heavy rains can soften the ground, causing fence posts to shift or rot. Additionally, improper concrete footing depth (less than the frost line) leads to instability over time.

Signs include a gate that drags on the ground, doesn't latch properly, or has gaps between the gate and post. If the gate post itself is leaning, the foundation likely has settled or heaved. A professional inspection can determine if the concrete footing needs reinforcement or replacement.

Our solution involves removing the affected posts, excavating the old footing, and pouring new concrete footings to the proper depth (generally 24 inches in this region). For gate alignment, we also adjust the hinges and hardware to ensure smooth operation. The result is a stable, long-lasting fence.
