All Backyard Construction | Reliable Fence Contractors in Sherwood, OR

We start by assessing the grade and soil stability.

We handle all permits and ensure the new structure meets current building codes, including railing heights and footing depth specific to Oregon.

Yes, this is a common local fencing issue in Sherwood due to clay soils and heavy seasonal rain. We address the root cause by removing loose posts, digging deeper footings, and using a gravel base for drainage. Posts are set in concrete with post brackets to prevent rot at ground level. For a long-term fix, we also offer steel posts or composite materials that resist moisture and shifting ground.

We do both. For deck repair, we can replace individual rotten boards, reinforce sagging joists, or upgrade railings without tearing down the whole structure. If more than 30% of the deck is compromised, we often recommend a replacement for cost-effectiveness and safety. We’ll inspect the framing, ledger board, and footings first to give you honest options.
