Post Replacement

  The old post is dug/jack hammered out all the way to the bottom of the hole.  The old cement is removed as well.  A new post replaces the old and new cement is added  The fence panels are reattached to the new post with screws.  A hurricane tie is added to the new post/old panel joint if necessary.       
 

 Materials: Your choices for a post replacement are a treated wood 4x4 or a schedule 20 steel post.  Wood posts last about 10 years and are cheaper to install.  Steel posts last a couple decades but are more expensive.  Landscape timbers are a third choice (standard in most new home sub division fences).  They are the cheapest post to install.  For a few (literally) dollars more you get a 4x4 post with twice the life.   We only install landscape timbers if the homeowner specifically requests them.
