Best Residential Fencing in Vallejo, CA 94590 - Diggs Construction And Landscape

Vallejo’s proximity to the Carquinez Strait and San Pablo Bay means salt-laden air constantly hits metal surfaces. Over time, moisture and salt accelerate rust, especially if the fence wasn’t galvanized or coated properly. Our solution is to use heavy-duty galvanized chain link and apply a protective coating during installation.

Look for boards that are visibly bowed, twisted, or have gaps at the joints—especially on south- or west-facing sections that get direct afternoon sun. If the fence feels loose or has developed cracks, heat expansion is likely the culprit. We can assess the damage and recommend repairs or replacement with heat-treated lumber.

For minor warping, we may be able to plane the boards or add bracing to prevent further movement. For severe cases, replacing the affected sections with kiln-dried, moisture-resistant wood like cedar or redwood can help. We also recommend leaving slight gaps between boards for expansion—something we always include in our installations.
