Residential Fencing Everett WA | Call Fouse Construction

High moisture and frequent rain in Everett can cause wooden fence posts to rot at the base and gate hinges to loosen. The extra weight of wet wood also strains the hinges, leading to sagging over time. Fouse Construction inspects the post footing and hardware to pinpoint the exact cause before repairing or replacing the gate.

Check for leaning sections, cracked or rotted posts, and gates that drag on the ground. If less than 30% of the fence is damaged, we often recommend targeted repairs, such as replacing individual posts or reinforcing the gate. For widespread rot or aging systems, a full replacement using pressure-treated lumber or composite materials may be more cost-effective. Fouse Construction can assess your fence and give a straightforward recommendation.

Yes. Poor drainage along fence lines can accelerate wood rot. Fouse Construction designs decks with proper sloping, gravel footings, and moisture barriers to direct water away from both the deck and adjacent fence. We integrate your new deck or repair with local drainage patterns to prevent future sagging and extend the life of your outdoor structures.
