Before and After

At Edgemark Fencing, we understand that even the best fences can encounter issues over time. Whether due to initial installation errors, weather conditions, or simply the passage of time, fences sometimes need repairs to maintain their integrity and appearance. Here are some common problems we frequently address and how we can help you resolve them:

1. Posts Not Set Deep Enough into the Ground: One of the most frequent issues we see is fence posts that haven't been set deep enough. This can lead to instability and tilting over time, especially in areas with high wind or shifting soil. Our team ensures that all posts are set to the appropriate depth, typically at least one-third of the post length, to provide a stable and durable foundation.
2. Not Using End Posts for Gates: Gates are often the most used and therefore the most stressed part of a fence. Using regular posts instead of specialized end posts for gates can lead to sagging and misalignment. At Edgemark Fencing, we use sturdy end posts designed to support the additional weight and movement, ensuring your gates function smoothly and remain aligned.
3. Improper Concrete Setting for Hollow Posts: For hollow vinyl or aluminum posts, it's crucial to set them in wet concrete, allowing the concrete to fill inside and outside the post. This creates a stronger anchor and prevents wobbling. We ensure that our installation process includes this critical step to enhance the stability and longevity of your fence.
4. Improper Measurements: Accurate measurements are essential for a properly installed fence. Incorrect measurements can lead to gaps, misaligned sections, and an overall unprofessional appearance. Our experienced team takes precise measurements to ensure a seamless installation that meets your specifications.
5. Low-Quality Materials: Using substandard materials can compromise the durability and aesthetics of your fence. At Edgemark Fencing, we only use high-quality materials that are built to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting performance. Whether you prefer wood, vinyl, aluminum, or any other material, we ensure that you get the best value for your investment.
6. Poor Alignment and Leveling: Ensuring the fence is straight and level is fundamental. Poor alignment and leveling can make a fence look unprofessional and can affect its structural integrity. Proper tools and techniques must be used to check alignment and level throughout the installation process.
7. Insufficient Spacing Between Posts: Spacing posts too far apart can compromise the stability of the fence. Depending on the type of fence and material, the appropriate spacing is critical to ensure the fence can withstand environmental stress.
8. Not Accounting for Expansion and Contraction: Materials like wood and vinyl expand and contract with temperature changes. Not allowing for this movement can result in cracks, warping, and other structural issues over time.
