Bay Area Lions Gate - Fremont's Professional Privacy Fence Installation

In Fremont, the dry soil common during summer months can cause the ground to shrink and pull away from concrete footings. This leaves fence posts loose. A typical solution is to remove the affected post, enlarge the hole, and set it with fresh concrete that extends below the frost line. Bay Area Lions Gate can assess your fence and re-set posts properly to restore stability.

The most common cause is a misaligned limit switch, often due to gradual wear or debris in the track. Another frequent issue is a dead battery in the backup system or a blown fuse on the control board. We start by checking power supply and limit settings, then inspect wiring and mechanical parts. Most repairs are straightforward and don't require replacing the entire gate.

Wood fences in Fremont dry out quickly in the heat, causing shrinkage and splits. The best prevention is annual staining or sealing with a UV-resistant, water-repellent finish. Before staining, we clean the wood and replace any damaged boards. Weatherproofing every 12-18 months locks out moisture and reduces movement, keeping gates and panels straight longer.
