Fancy Home Design | Expert Fencing Company in Fontana, CA

After an earthquake, look for cracks spreading through the fence posts or concrete footings, leaning sections that are no longer level, and panels pulling away from the house or supporting posts. Misaligned gates that won't latch or swing freely are also typical signs. If you notice these issues, it's best to have us inspect the structural integrity to prevent further shifting or collapse.

Ground movement from seismic activity or settling can throw a gate off its hinges. Our solution involves re-setting or reinforcing the gate post concrete foundation to ensure it remains plumb. We also adjust the hinges and latch, or replace hardware if necessary. For long-term stability, we can install a floating base or use heavy-duty hinges that accommodate minor ground fluctuations without binding.

Absolutely. We design fences with flexible connections, deeper post footings, and sturdy materials like steel or reinforced wood. Our installation methods focus on creating a system that can absorb ground movement without cracking. We also recommend using shorter, wider panels that are less likely to catch the wind and cause additional stress. After installation, we can discuss adding expansion joints for extra protection.
