DD’s Fence: Expert Fencing Company Serving San Diego, CA 92101

San Diego's intense sun and occasional heavy rains cause wooden panels to dry out and then swell, leading to warping, cracking, or splitting. For local homeowners in neighborhoods like Clairemont or La Jolla, this is a common issue. We fix it by either replacing the damaged panel with pressure-treated or cedar wood that better resists our climate, or for a more durable solution, we can transition that section to a vinyl or composite panel. We match the style and stain to keep your fence looking consistent.

That sticking latch is often due to gate sag, where the entire gate drops because of loose hinges or a shifting post—something we see a lot in canyons like Mission Hills or due to soil movement in areas like Tierrasanta. The solution is first to realign the gate by adjusting or replacing hinges, then replacing the latch with a corrosion-resistant model. If the post is rotted, we'll set a new galvanized post in concrete. The result is a gate that swings freely and latches securely.

Absolutely. Storm damage is a frequent call we get, especially from coastal areas like Point Loma and Ocean Beach where winds funnel between houses. The root cause is often weakened post bases or rotted rails hidden beneath the surface. We come out promptly to secure your property and assess if just a few panels and posts need replacement or if the entire fence is compromised. We use heavy-duty galvanized brackets and concrete footings to better withstand future gusts.
