Questions and Answers
What types of metal fencing do you install for Seattle homes?
We specialize in custom iron fences and gates for residential properties. Our team designs and fabricates each piece to match your home's style, whether it's a classic wrought-iron look or a modern geometric pattern. We handle the entire process from design to installation, ensuring a secure and durable fence that meets Seattle building codes.
How do you fix fence post erosion common in Seattle's wet climate?
Seattle's frequent rain can cause wooden fence posts to rot or shift due to soil erosion. We address this by using galvanized steel posts or setting wood posts in concrete with gravel at the base for drainage. For existing fences, we replace rotted posts and anchor them securely to prevent future movement, keeping your fence stable for years.
Can you repair or replace a damaged privacy fence panel?
Yes, we offer fence repair and replacement services, including for privacy fences. If a panel is warped, cracked, or blown out, our team can replace just that section with matching materials, or upgrade to a more durable option like iron or composite. We also stain or weatherproof wood panels to resist Seattle's moisture.
