Dolphin Fencing | Best Fence Contractors in Sacramento, CA

Sacramento's hot, dry summers and sudden rainstorms cause wood panels to expand and contract, leading to cracks. We repair cracked panels by replacing damaged sections with matching material and reinforcing the frame to prevent future splitting. For persistent issues, we recommend upgrading to composite or vinyl panels that resist cracking.

Signs include peeling, fading, or blotchy areas on the wood, along with water absorption causing darker patches. If water no longer beads on the surface, the stain has worn away. We can strip old stain, treat the wood, and apply a new, UV-resistant coat to protect against Sacramento's sun.

Regular maintenance with a high-quality, UV-blocking stain is key. We recommend semi-transparent stains that allow the wood to breathe while shielding it from sun damage. Annual cleaning and re-staining every 2-3 years, plus trimming vegetation to improve airflow, significantly extends the life of your fence's finish.
