Fenceworks | Professional Privacy Fence Installation in Bakersfield, CA

Yes, we can. The intense Central Valley sun is tough on vinyl fencing, causing UV damage that leads to fading and brittleness. Our solution involves a thorough cleaning and application of a specialized, UV-resistant vinyl fence paint or stain. This process not only restores the original color but also adds a protective layer to prevent further UV degradation, extending the life of your fence significantly. We'll assess the brittleness to ensure the material is sound enough to paint, but in most cases, this is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.

Absolutely. Our dry, expansive soil in Bakersfield is a primary cause of fence post instability. When the ground dries out and shrinks, it loses its grip on the concrete or soil around the post. This creates a gap, allowing the post to wobble and lean, especially with wind or gate weight. Our repair solution involves removing the old, loose post, digging a wider and deeper hole, and setting the new post in a high-strength concrete mix designed for our local soil conditions. We also use gravel at the base for drainage, preventing the same issue from recurring.

The most common issue we see with automatic gates in Bakersfield is sensor misalignment or obstruction, often caused by heat expansion of the gate frame or accumulated dust and debris from dry, windy conditions. This causes the safety sensors to fail, preventing the gate from moving. We start by inspecting and cleaning the photo-eye sensors and checking for any frame warping. Often, a simple realignment and cleaning will solve the problem. If not, we'll check the motor, control board, and wiring for heat-related damage, and provide a reliable repair or replacement part.
