Central Coast Landscaping: Best Fencing Company Serving Goleta, CA 93117

Frequent causes include loose hinges, posts that have settled or rotted, and swelling from coastal humidity. Over time, the weight of the gate can also pull the frame out of square. If the post is no longer plumb or the hinges have shifted, the gate will drag or stick.

If the gate still swings but sticks at the bottom or doesn't latch, it often just needs hinge adjustment or post reinforcement. If the wood is rotting, the frame is cracked, or the sag returns shortly after adjustment, a new gate installation—with weatherproof materials and proper bracing—is usually the better long-term fix.

Yes. We typically assess the post condition, hinges, and latch. Often we can reset the hinges, replace hardware, or add a support wheel. If the post is leaning, we can brace or replace just that post. We match the style and stain so the repair blends in with your existing fence.
