Fence Contractors Lakewood WA | Call A&R Hernández

Common signs include soft or spongy spots on deck boards, visible rot near posts or joists, loose railings, and nails popping up. In Lakewood's wet climate, moisture damage accelerates decay. If more than 20% of the structure is compromised, replacement is often more cost-effective than repair. A&R Hernández can assess your deck and recommend the right approach.

Fence post decay typically starts at ground level where moisture collects. We remove the damaged post, dig out the old concrete footings, and install a new pressure-treated or cedar post with proper drainage gravel. For extra stability in our clay-heavy soil, we use concrete footings that extend below the frost line. We also offer metal post anchors for long-term durability.

In most cases, we can repair individual storm-damaged sections by removing broken pickets, straightening or replacing rails, and resetting any leaning posts. This saves you money compared to a full fence replacement. If the damage is widespread or your fence is older, we'll discuss replacement options that match your existing style. A&R Hernández serves all Lakewood neighborhoods from Tillicum to the Clover Park area.
