Gate repair
Common gate repairs
A gate takes more wear than any other part of a fence. It swings its own weight every day, so small problems at the post or hinges turn into a gate that drags or will not close.
When the post is the problem, we reset it below the frost line in concrete, so the repair holds instead of sagging again next year.

FAQ
Gate repair questions
Why does my gate sag and stop latching?
Almost always because the gate post was not set strong enough. A gate swings weight back and forth all day, so the post needs to be deeper and set in more concrete than a regular one.
Can you fix or replace just my gate?
Yes. A sagging or broken gate is one of the most common fence fixes we do. We can rebuild or replace the gate and, if the post is the problem, reset it.
Do you repair gates on fences you did not build?
Yes. We repair gates and fences of every kind, no matter who installed them.
