Expert Privacy Fence Installation in Sacramento, CA 95823 - All Professional Services

Sacramento sits in a region with moderate seismic activity. When an earthquake occurs, the ground shakes and can cause fence posts to shift or settle unevenly. This puts stress on the panels, especially on older wooden fences that have already dried out from our summer heat. The combination of ground movement and brittle wood leads to cracks, splits, or even complete panel failure. If you notice new cracks after a tremor, it's a sign the foundation or fasteners may have also been compromised.

Look for these signs: visible cracks wider than 1/8 inch, panels that lean or are out of alignment, popped nails or screws, gates that no longer latch properly, and gaps between the fence and the ground. Even small cracks can let in moisture, leading to rot. If your fence suddenly squeaks or sags, it’s best to have a pro assess it. We always recommend a full inspection after a noticeable earthquake to catch hidden damage before it worsens.

We provide comprehensive fence repair tailored to earthquake damage. This includes realigning shifted posts, replacing cracked or split panels, reinforcing weak sections, and re-securing fasteners. For wooden fences, we also offer weatherproofing and staining to protect against future cracking from sun and moisture. If the damage is severe, we can install a completely new fence panel or section. We also repair automatic gates that may have bent tracks or misaligned sensors from the shake. Our goal is to restore your fence to safe, sturdy condition.
