Questions and Answers

What causes wooden fence posts to rot so quickly in Portland, and how can I prevent it?

Constant rain and damp soil in Portland accelerate wood rot, especially when posts are set directly in concrete that traps moisture. Signs include soft wood near the base and a leaning fence. Cedric Handyman Service can replace rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber or install post anchors to keep wood above ground. We also offer fence weatherproofing and staining to seal out moisture.

My fence gate is sagging and dragging on the ground. What’s the likely cause and how can you fix it?

Sagging gates are often caused by loose hinges, a warped frame, or heavy wet wood from Portland’s humidity. Cedric can repair the gate by reinforcing the frame, adjusting or replacing hinges, and adding a tension cable. If the gate is beyond repair, we install new manual or automatic gates that are properly braced for our climate.

Is it possible to save my fence if it has moss and mildew all over it, or does it need to be replaced?

Moss and mildew on a fence are common in Portland’s shade and dampness, but they don’t always mean the fence is ruined. Cedric Handyman Service offers fence cleaning, followed by painting or staining with a mildew-resistant coating. If the wood is still structurally sound, we can restore it. For severely rotted sections, we repair or replace individual boards and posts.
