Bob's Fence: Trusted Fence Builders Serving Riverside, CA 92509

The intense Inland Empire sun is the primary culprit, causing UV rays to break down wood stains and fade vinyl or composite fencing. Additionally, our dry heat and occasional Santa Ana winds deposit dust and grit that can dull the surface. Bob's Fence addresses this with professional cleaning, restoration, and re-staining services. We use UV-resistant stains designed for our local climate to bring back the rich color and protect your fence for years to come.

Absolutely. A gate that sticks, drags, or is difficult to operate is often a sign that the posts have shifted in the soil, the hinges are rusted or bent, or the latch mechanism is failing. If left alone, this can lead to a complete gate lock failure, leaving your property unsecured. As a common local issue, we recommend not forcing it. Bob's Fence can quickly diagnose whether it needs a simple adjustment, a new hinge, or a replacement latch to restore smooth, secure operation.

In most cases, we can replace just the locking mechanism without needing a new gate. Jamming is often caused by internal wear, rust from our lack of rain, or misalignment of the latch with the striker plate. Bob's Fence will first check if the gate is properly aligned; if so, a simple lock replacement is a quick, cost-effective solution. We stock heavy-duty locks suitable for Riverside's conditions, ensuring you don't have to replace the entire gate.
