Fence & Gate Repair in Erie, PA

Fences take the brunt of an Erie winter. Freeze-thaw heaves posts up out of plumb, months of wet snow pile against the boards and rot pickets from the base, and a lake wind finds every loose panel. Few fences around here make it many years without needing attention once the ground has cycled frozen and thawed a few dozen times.

We reset heaved and leaning posts, rehang sagging gates so they latch on the first try, swap out rotted or split pickets, and replace failed hardware with galvanized hinges and latches built to hold up in this climate. If your fence took a beating over the winter or is just tired, we'll tell you honestly whether it's a repair or time to talk replacement.

What this covers

  • Frost-heaved and leaning post resetting
  • Sagging gate realignment and rehang
  • Rotted and split picket replacement
  • Galvanized hinge and latch upgrades
  • Winter and wind damage repair
  • Gate hardware and drop-rod installs
  • Rail and stringer repair
  • Section rebuild and board replacement
A note from around here: Frost heave is the big one here — when the ground freezes and thaws over a long Erie winter, it lifts and tilts posts that weren't set below the frost line. We reset them deep and solid so the run stands straight again instead of walking out of line every spring.

Neighbors often ask

My fence posts leaned over the winter — why?

Frost heave. When the ground freezes it expands and lifts posts, and each thaw lets them settle back crooked. We reset the posts below the frost line so they hold plumb through the next freeze instead of shifting again.

A gate sagged and won't latch — can it be saved?

Often, yes. A gate that dropped usually needs the hinges reset and the post checked for plumb, not a whole new gate. We'll tell you honestly if the post rotted or heaved out and needs replacing instead.
