Common Questions
My fence posts are leaning after the recent dry spell in Oakland. Can you fix this without replacing the whole fence?
Yes. Dry soils in Oakland can cause fence posts to shift over time. We often reinforce unstable posts with concrete footings or install new pressure-treated posts directly into stable ground. If only a few posts are affected, we can repair them individually, resetting the alignment without tearing down your entire fence. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to protect wood from future moisture loss and UV damage.
Do you install energy-efficient windows and skylights in older Oakland homes?
Absolutely. We frequently work on older East Bay homes that need upgraded glazing and proper flashing. For windows, we offer replacement that fits existing openings, with options like double-pane low-E glass to improve insulation. Skylights are installed with curb-mounted frames and sealed to Oakland's rainfall. Bill personally checks each installation for structural fit and seal integrity.
Can you repair a manual gate that’s difficult to open, or do I need to replace the whole gate?
Often a repair is all that's needed. Sticking gates usually result from hinge corrosion, sagging caused by dry soil settling, or warped wood. We can adjust hinges, replace hardware, or reset the gate post. If the gate is badly rotted or warped, we'll recommend a targeted replacement of just the gate panel. We also offer automatic gate installation if you prefer the convenience of remote access.
