Ajm Exteriors - Olympia's Reliable Residential Fencing

Olympia's frequent rain and humidity can cause stain to peel or fade prematurely, especially if the wood wasn't properly sealed or if a low-quality stain was used. UV exposure also contributes. Ajm Exteriors recommends high-quality, weather-resistant stains and proper surface preparation to extend the life of your fence's finish.

Common signs include the gate not closing fully, unusual noises, slow operation, or the latch sticking. You might also notice the gate swinging open unexpectedly. These issues often stem from misalignment, worn components, or electrical problems. Ajm Exteriors can diagnose and repair all types of automatic gate latches.

Regular maintenance is key. For staining, clean and reapply stain every 2-3 years, and ensure proper drainage around fence posts. For gate latches, lubricate moving parts annually and check alignment after heavy storms. Ajm Exteriors offers weatherproofing and repair services to keep your fence and gate in top condition year-round.
