Deck & Siding Contractor in Eatonville, WA | Coffey’s Construction

Leaning fence posts in Eatonville are often caused by our wet, clay-heavy soil and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which loosen the ground around the posts. Coffey’s Construction solves this by removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, and setting a new pressure-treated post in concrete below the frost line. We also use gravel at the base for drainage, preventing future leaning and decay.

Common signs include rotting wood, especially near ground contact for decks, or bubbling paint and soft spots on siding—often due to moisture from Eatonville’s rainy winters. For decks, wobbly railings or loose boards are red flags. Coffey’s Construction will inspect your structure, recommend repairs if the damage is limited, or suggest a full replacement using materials like composite decking or fiber cement siding that better resist our local climate.

Absolutely. To combat rot common in our area, we use rot-resistant materials like cedar, vinyl, or pressure-treated lumber with proper ground clearance. Our installation process includes setting posts in concrete with a slight slope for water runoff and using galvanized hardware to prevent rust. This approach keeps your fence sturdy and long-lasting, even near the Mashel River or other damp spots in Eatonville.
