About the Sagging Gate or Fence
Gates sag when hinge posts lean or rot, hardware loosens or the frame racks out of square. Fences lean when posts rot at the base or concrete heaves.
We re-set or replace posts, square the gate, add a brace or a new frame and fit proper hinges and latches so it swings and closes like new.
