Fence Installation Seaside CA | Call Crabbe Construction & Design

Coastal moisture and temperature swings cause wood to expand and contract repeatedly. Over time, this leads to stress cracks along the grain, especially in untreated or older panels. At Crabbe Construction & Design, we use properly seasoned lumber and recommend seasonal sealing to minimize this common local issue.

Gate misalignment usually indicates that the hinge hardware has loosened or the post has shifted in Seaside's sandy soil. It can also happen when the gate’s weight pulls the frame out of square. Our team will assess the foundation, adjust or replace hardware, and reinforce the gate so it swings freely again.

If the damage is isolated to a single panel, we can remove the damaged section and install a new matching panel, often reusing existing posts. For larger cracks, we may reinforce the back with a brace. This targeted repair saves you time and money while restoring your fence’s strength and appearance.
