Wood and Vinyl Fencing Paragould AR | Call Thielemier fencing and powerwashing

Clay-heavy soil in Paragould expands when wet and contracts as it dries. This repeated movement loosens the grip on wooden or metal fence posts, causing the entire section to lean. Heavy rain also saturates the ground, making it soft enough for posts to shift. Signs include a visible tilt, a gate that drags, or cracked concrete around post bases. Thielemier addresses this by resetting the post with proper drainage gravel and compacting the soil for a stable, long-lasting fix.

A gate that won’t latch cleanly, sags at the top corner, or scrapes the ground is likely fixable. Thielemier checks the hinges, post alignment, and hardware tension first. Often tightening or replacing a sagged hinge bolt and resetting the gate post solves the issue. Replacement is only recommended if the wood is rotted at the connection points or the frame is split. We always provide a straightforward assessment before recommending any work.

Not if done correctly. Thielemier uses a low-pressure soft wash system for fence cleaning, not high-pressure blasting that can gouge wood or force water under vinyl panels. The goal is to remove mold, mildew, and dirt without stressing the material. We also let the fence dry fully before applying any sealant or stain. For wood fences, we adjust the pressure to avoid raising the grain, preserving the repair we just completed.
