Expert Wood and Vinyl Fencing in San Jose, CA 95116 - A&I fence

Sagging gates are often caused by heavy weight, loose hinges, or posts that have shifted due to soil erosion or settling. Over time, the hardware can wear out. We can repair sagging gates by reinforcing the frame, replacing hinges, or adjusting the post. If the post is compromised, we may recommend replacing it or adding a concrete footing for stability.

Soil erosion, common in areas with slopes or heavy rain, can expose or loosen fence posts, making them unstable. This is a frequent issue near the hills or properties with poor drainage. Our solution involves excavating around the post, adding gravel for drainage, and setting the post in concrete to secure it. For severe cases, we may suggest a new post installation with a wider base.

Look for rotting wood, loose railings, splintered boards, or visible mold and mildew. If the deck feels bouncy or has significant water damage, it may be beyond repair. In San Jose’s climate, sun exposure can also cause cracking. We can assess the damage and recommend either targeted repairs, like replacing damaged boards, or a full replacement for safety and longevity.
