Uplifting Projects & Repair - Grand Rapids's Trusted Fence Installation

The main cause is Grand Rapids' freeze-thaw cycle. Moisture in the soil freezes in winter, expands, and then thaws in spring, shifting fence posts. Over time, posts can work loose, causing the fence to lean or sag. Poor initial installation or rotting at the base of the posts can also contribute. Our fence repair service involves resetting and bracing posts to restore stability and prevent future movement.

Common signs include unusual grinding or clicking noises, slow or inconsistent opening and closing, the gate reversing direction for no reason, or visible sagging on one side. If your gate hesitates or struggles to move, especially during wet or cold weather, it's time for a professional check. Uplifting Projects & Repair can diagnose issues with the motor, tracks, or sensors and get your gate operating smoothly again.

The most effective solution is proper weatherproofing, which we do as part of our fence installation services. We apply a high-quality sealant or stain that resists moisture, UV rays, and mildew, specifically chosen for our local climate. For existing fences, our weatherproofing service includes cleaning, repairing any damage, and applying a fresh protective coat to extend the life of your fence by years.
