Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence staining failure in Island Lake’s climate?
Fence staining failure here is usually due to moisture trapped under the stain, UV damage, or improper surface preparation before staining. The freeze-thaw cycles in Island Lake can cause the stain to crack and peel. Our solution involves stripping the old stain, cleaning the wood, and applying a high-quality, weather-resistant stain with proper sealing to prevent future failure.
How can I tell if my fence posts are leaning?
Signs include a visible tilt in the fence line, gates that stick or don’t latch properly, or gaps between fence panels and the ground. If you notice any of these, the posts may be shifting due to soil erosion or frost heave. We inspect the post base and surrounding soil to determine if repair, reinforcement, or replacement is needed.
What is the best solution for fixing leaning fence posts?
For minor leans, we can dig around the post, straighten it, and set it in fresh concrete. For severe damage or rot, we replace the post entirely and use gravel and concrete to improve drainage and stability. We also offer weatherproofing treatments to protect the new post from moisture. Our fence repair service covers all these options to ensure your fence stands straight for years.
