“The gate dragged on the pavers for a year. They reset the post hardware and added a wheel. It closes with one finger now.”

Questions
Fences, gates & decks: straight answers
Can you replace just a few deck boards?
Yes. We match the width and thickness, and new boards weather to the same gray within a season or two. Sealing them speeds that up.
My gate drags on the ground. Can it be saved?
Usually. It’s most often a sagging hinge post or loose hinges. An anti-sag kit or a reset hinge fixes it without a new gate.
Do you replace fence posts?
One loose post can often be braced. Several rotten posts means the line needs a licensed fence contractor, and we’ll say so.
