The failure point on a South Florida fence is almost always at grade: the post rots or corrodes at the soil line and the whole section starts to lean. Resetting posts with the correct depth and footing fixes the actual problem instead of bracing the symptom.
Gates take the most abuse. Proper hinge hardware, a diagonal brace and a latch that stays aligned through seasonal movement is the difference between a gate that works for a decade and one that drags in six months.
Why this matters in North Miami
Pool-barrier requirements apply throughout Miami-Dade — self-closing, self-latching gates with the latch at the required height. We build to that standard on every pool enclosure.
What fences includes
- Wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link
- Leaning post reset and footing repair
- Gate rebuild, hinges and latches

Fences questions from North Miami customers
- How deep should fence posts be set in North Miami soil?
- Local sandy and limerock soils plus hurricane wind loads mean deeper footings than a generic spec. We size the footing to fence height and exposure.
- Do I need a permit for a new fence?
- New fences typically require a City of North Miami permit and a survey. Like-for-like repair usually does not.
