East County Fence Company - Antioch's Trusted Residential Fencing

Dry soil contracts and pulls away from fence posts, reducing their grip. Over time, this causes posts to wobble or lean, especially after wind. We address this by using longer posts set deeper with concrete or gravel to anchor them below the dry surface layer.

If your gate drags on the ground, won't latch, or sags at the hinges, it's often repairable. We check for loose screws, worn hinges, or a missing support cable. If the wood is just warped from heat or the post is loose, we can realign and reinforce it rather than install a new gate.

Yes, weatherproofing seals the wood against moisture loss and sun damage. We apply a stain or sealant that penetrates the wood to reduce cracking. If the wood is already splitting, we repair the cracks first, then apply weatherproofing to prevent further damage in Antioch's summer heat.
