Question Answers
Why is my fence gate sagging or dragging on the ground, and can you fix it without replacing the whole gate?
Gate sagging is often caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted due to frost heave. At Tony Rods Custom Fence, we assess the cause first. If the post is stable, we can tighten or replace hinges and add a tension cable to realign the gate. If the post is leaning, we may need to reset or brace it. Since we offer both fence and gate repair as a specialized service, we can often fix the gate without a full replacement, saving you time and money.
What are the signs that my fence posts are rotting or damaged, and how do you replace them?
Common signs include visible mold, soft or crumbly wood near the ground, a fence section that wobbles, or a post that feels loose. In Wallingford's wet climate, ground contact accelerates rot. We solve this by cutting out the damaged post section, removing the old concrete base, and setting a new pressure-treated post with fresh concrete. This is a targeted fence repair that restores stability without requiring a full fence replacement.
A recent storm blew a large section of my fence down. Can you repair just that section, or do I need a new fence?
In most cases, we can repair the damaged section. If the rails and pickets are intact but the posts snapped, we replace the broken posts and reattach the existing panels. If the panels are shattered, we custom-build a matching replacement section. Because we specialize in fence repair, we can match your existing fence style and stain, making the repair nearly invisible. This saves you the cost of a full fence installation while restoring your property's security and appearance.
