Common Questions
Why are my fence posts leaning in Sacramento’s dry soil?
In Sacramento, extended dry periods can cause the soil to shrink and shift, reducing support around fence posts. Over time, this leads to leaning or unstable posts. DL Home Services can reinforce or replace your fence posts, using concrete footings or gravel bases to improve stability in our local soil conditions.
My automatic gate won’t open or close properly. What’s likely wrong?
Common causes include a failed gate lock, misaligned sensors, or a worn motor. In Sacramento, dust and heat can also affect gate electronics. If you notice your gate struggling to move or making unusual sounds, call DL Home Services. We diagnose and repair automatic gate issues, from lock replacements to full motor servicing.
How do I know if my fence needs repair or full replacement?
Signs like widespread rot, multiple leaning posts, or large gaps indicate it’s time for a replacement. If only a few boards are damaged or the gate sags slightly, repair is often enough. DL Home Services will inspect your fence, assess the damage, and recommend the most cost-effective solution—whether it’s patching, reinforcing, or installing a new fence.
