Residential Fencing Ennis TX | Call The Modern Craftsman

The shifting clay soils common in Ennis often cause fence posts to become unstable over time. The Modern Craftsman addresses this by using deeper concrete footings or helical anchors that reach below the frost line and stable soil layers. We also recommend proper drainage and post-bracing to prevent future movement. As part of our fencing services, we can inspect your existing posts, reset them securely, or install new, long-lasting posts that handle local soil conditions.

A broken gate latch is often a sign that your fence gate is sagging or misaligned due to post movement or loose hinges. In Ennis, soil movement can throw gates off balance, putting extra stress on the latch. The Modern Craftsman can realign your gate, reinforce the hinges, and replace the latch with a heavy-duty, weather-resistant model. If the posts are shifting, we'll stabilize them as part of our fence repair or replacement service to fix the root cause.
