D B C Norcal - Middletown's Experienced Fence Installation

Wildfire damage often compromises the structural integrity of wood fences. The first step is a thorough inspection to determine if the damage is cosmetic or if the wood is structurally weakened. For charred posts or rails, replacement is usually safest. We recommend using fire-resistant materials like metal or composite for new sections. As a local contractor, we can assess the full extent of the damage and provide a durable solution that meets local building codes and your budget.

Yes, leaning posts and sticking gates are classic signs of expansion damage, often caused by soil movement or moisture absorption in wood. This is common in our area. The solution typically involves resetting the posts with proper concrete footings and using expansion gaps in the fencing material. We can inspect your fence, identify the root cause, and provide a long-term fix that prevents future shifting.

For decks in wildfire-prone areas, we prioritize fire-resistant materials. Composite decking, concrete, or fire-treated wood are excellent choices. We also advise on proper spacing and hardware to minimize ember intrusion. Our team designs and builds decks that are both beautiful and compliant with local fire safety regulations, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy your outdoor space.
