Residential Fencing Boise ID | Call Better Fencing & Decks

Leaning posts are often caused by ground heave from the Boise area's freeze-thaw cycles. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can shift fence posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Better Fencing & Decks can repair this by resetting posts with concrete footings below the frost line (typically 36 inches deep in Boise). For severely damaged sections, we may recommend replacing the posts and using pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact.

Cracked and splintering deck boards are common in Boise's dry, high-UV climate, which can dry out wood and cause it to check. This is often a sign that the deck's protective stain or sealer has worn off. If the damage is limited to the surface boards, Better Fencing & Decks can perform a deck repair by replacing the damaged planks and applying a fresh weatherproof stain. However, if the joists or ledger board are also rotting or the structure feels bouncy, a full deck replacement may be necessary to ensure safety.

Grinding noises and slow operation usually indicate a mechanical issue, such as worn-out gears, a low battery, or corrosion on the track or hinges—especially common after Boise's snowy winters. Our team can diagnose the specific cause during a service visit. In most cases, we can perform an automatic gate repair by lubricating parts, tightening connections, or replacing a faulty motor controller. This is often more cost-effective than a full system replacement.
