Fortress Fencing: Experienced Fence Installation Serving Somerset, CA 95684

Fence expansion damage is common in Somerset due to our hot summers and rainy winters. The wood absorbs moisture and swells, which can cause boards to warp or push against each other. Our repair process involves removing damaged boards, adjusting the spacing to allow for natural movement, and resealing or weatherproofing the wood to prevent future issues.

Broken gate hardware often occurs when the gate sags or the wood expands, putting extra strain on hinges and latches. We start by inspecting the gate's alignment and the fence posts. If the wood is soaked or warped, we repair or replace sections and then install heavy-duty, weather-resistant hardware. We also adjust the gate to swing freely without binding.

Staining or painting creates a protective barrier against moisture and UV rays, which are the main culprits behind wood rot and expansion here in Somerset. We use high-quality, weatherproof finishes that seal the wood fibers. This reduces cracking, warping, and fading, extending the life of your fence and making it easier to maintain through our wet winters and dry summers.
