Experienced Fence Builders in Oakland, CA 94601 - Eligio Construction

Earthquakes can shift soil, causing fence posts to lean or crack, and wooden panels to pull apart. Signs include a visibly tilted fence, gaps between panels, or gates that won't latch. At Eligio Construction, we assess the damage, reset or replace posts with proper concrete footings, and repair or replace warped boards. We also reinforce connections to prevent future issues. We serve neighborhoods from Adams Point to Dimond District.

Oakland's dry summer heat can cause wood to expand and then contract, leading to warping, cracking, or cupping. You might notice boards that are no longer straight, gaps, or splintering. We recommend using properly seasoned lumber, leaving expansion gaps, and applying high-quality stain or paint that blocks moisture. Our team can replace damaged boards, adjust tension, and refinish your fence to protect it against local weather.

Cracks from seismic movement often start at corners or along seams. While small hairline cracks may be cosmetic, larger ones can indicate underlying stress. We inspect for loose or damaged panels and tape. For most cases, we patch the crack, re-tape the joint, and apply texture to match your wall. If the damage is extensive, we can replace sections entirely. We serve Oakland homes near Grand Lake and Temescal.
