Questions and Answers

What causes my automatic gate to stop working after a Shoreview winter?

The most common cause is moisture and ice buildup in the gate's sensors or motor components. Snow plows can also push ice against the gate, damaging the tracks or control box. Our automatic gate repair service in Shoreview can diagnose these issues, often finding that a simple sensor cleaning or motor weatherproofing is needed to get your gate functioning properly again.

What are the signs that my fence needs weatherproofing before next winter?

Look for signs like peeling paint or stain, visible cracks in the wood, or posts that feel loose in the ground. If you notice water stains or moss growing on the fence, it's a clear sign moisture is penetrating the wood. Our fence weatherproofing service in Shoreview includes applying a high-quality sealant designed to withstand our freeze-thaw cycles, protecting your fence from rot and extending its life.

How can I fix a manual gate that is sagging and difficult to close?

A sagging manual gate is often due to loose hinges, a warped frame, or a settling post. The solution involves tightening or replacing the hinges, and sometimes adjusting the post with a concrete footing. Our manual gate repair service in Shoreview addresses these issues on-site. We can also install a new latch system to ensure it closes securely, which is especially important for keeping pets and children safe in your yard.
