Albany Wood Fences - Albany's Trusted Fence Installation

Albany's frequent rain and humidity create a perfect environment for moisture-related issues, especially at the base of wood fences where ground contact is constant. The 'cause' is often standing water, poor drainage, or lack of a proper seal. A clear 'sign' is soft, spongy wood or visible green moss. As a 'solution', Albany Wood Fences can repair or replace rotting sections, improve drainage, and apply a professional-grade weatherproofing treatment specifically designed for the Pacific Northwest climate.

This is a very common issue in Albany due to the expansion and contraction of wood and soil movement from wet and dry cycles. The 'cause' is likely a settled gate post or a gate that has warped from moisture. The 'sign' is a gate that sticks, scrapes, or won't latch. Our 'solution' includes realigning the posts, repairing or replacing the gate hinges, and planing the gate to restore proper clearance. If the damage is severe, we can install a new, more durable manual gate that is built to handle the local weather.

While natural wood can look beautiful, in Albany's wet climate leaving a wood fence untreated is not recommended. The high moisture levels will quickly cause the wood to crack, warp, and turn gray. The 'solution' is to apply a protective finish immediately. Staining penetrates the wood and offers a natural look with good UV and moisture protection, while painting provides a thicker, more durable barrier. We offer both 'fence painting or staining' services and can recommend the best product for your specific type of wood to ensure your fence lasts for years.
