Protect Your Property with Secure Fencing

Professional fence repair and installation services delivered throughout Gulfport, Mississippi by Gerard Construction LLC.

Your fence defines where your property begins and ends, keeps children and pets safely contained, and blocks sightlines from neighbors and passersby. In Gulfport, fences face high humidity, salt air from the coast, and storm winds that loosen posts and warp boards over time. When sections lean or boards split, you lose the privacy and security you rely on every day.

Gerard Construction LLC repairs damaged fencing and installs new perimeter systems for residential properties throughout Gulfport. Repairs address leaning posts, missing pickets, broken rails, and gate hardware that no longer latches properly. New installations begin with post placement that accounts for soil type and drainage patterns, followed by rail assembly and board or panel attachment. Materials include treated wood, vinyl, chain link, and composite options suited to your budget and intended use.

If your fence needs attention or you are ready to define your property line, reach out to discuss repair options or new installation planning in Gulfport.

How Posts, Rails, and Panels Work Together

Fence installation in Gulfport starts with marking your property line and setting posts in concrete footings deep enough to resist wind load and soil movement. Posts anchor the structure, rails connect them horizontally, and pickets or panels attach to the rails to form the barrier. Gerard Construction LLC spaces posts according to material type and fence height, ensuring the finished structure remains plumb and stable.

After installation, you will notice clean sightlines along the perimeter, gates that swing smoothly and latch without effort, and posts that stand vertical without leaning. The fence will define outdoor spaces clearly, keep pets from wandering into neighboring yards, and block views from the street or adjacent properties.

Repairs follow a similar approach, replacing rotted posts, straightening leaning sections, and securing loose boards. The service does not include grading or drainage work outside the fence line, but it does address hardware replacement and minor gate adjustments. Once repairs are complete, the fence functions as intended and maintains consistent alignment across all sections.

What to Know Before Scheduling Your Fence Work

Homeowners in Gulfport often ask about post depth, material longevity, and how to handle property lines before scheduling fence work. These questions help clarify what to prepare and what the finished installation will look like.

How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Posts are typically set at least two feet deep in concrete footings to resist wind and soil movement. Deeper footings may be required for taller fences or areas with sandy soil.
What type of material lasts longest in coastal conditions?
Vinyl and composite materials resist moisture and salt air better than untreated wood. Treated wood remains a durable option when maintained with sealant every few years.
When should I repair a fence instead of replacing it?
You should repair when damage affects only a few sections and the posts remain structurally sound. Replacement makes sense when multiple posts lean, rot has spread, or the fence no longer holds alignment.
How do I confirm the property line before installation?
You can reference your property survey or hire a surveyor to mark boundaries. Gerard Construction LLC installs fencing along the line you specify, but verifying boundaries beforehand prevents disputes with neighbors.
What happens if a gate does not latch after installation?
Gerard Construction LLC adjusts gate hardware and hinge placement during installation to ensure smooth operation and secure latching. Any issues that arise after completion are addressed as part of the service.
