Blacksmith Welding And Fabrication: Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation Serving San Bernardino, CA 92404

Heat and direct sun cause wood fence boards to dry out, cup, and warp over time. We recommend using pressure-treated or kiln-dried wood species rated for our climate. During installation, we leave proper expansion gaps and use stainless steel fasteners to reduce movement. For existing warped fences, we can replace affected boards and apply a UV-protective stain or sealant. If the warping is severe, we may suggest reframing or installing a metal support system beneath the wood to keep panels straight. We also offer weatherproofing treatments specifically formulated for Inland Empire temperatures.

Yes. Automatic gate repair is one of our regular services. Common issues include motor burnout from the heat, misaligned sensors, or worn gears. We start with a diagnostic check of the operator, track, and wiring. After identifying the problem, we can replace the motor, adjust the limit switches, realign the gate frame, or repair the electrical connections. We also offer automatic gate installation if your current system is beyond repair and needs a full upgrade.

We weld steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using MIG, TIG, and stick processes. This covers most custom fabrication needs, from ornamental iron gates and structural brackets to handrails and patio cover frames. For projects requiring certified welds, we hold AWS D1.1 Structural and ASME IX High Pressure certifications. Bolts we recommend calling first to confirm material thickness and joint requirements, as each metal requires a different technique and filler material.
