Fence Contractors El Dorado Hills CA | Call Garcia Maintenance & Gardening

Wood fence warping is common here due to the combination of intense summer heat and low humidity, which causes the wood to dry out and shrink unevenly. Over time, moisture from winter rains can then swell the boards, leading to twisting and bowing. To prevent this, we recommend using pressure-treated or cedar wood, applying a quality sealant, and ensuring proper spacing between boards for expansion. Regular inspections and timely repairs by Garcia Maintenance can extend the life of your fence.

Common signs include difficulty latching, a loose handle, the gate sagging so the latch doesn’t align, or rust and stiffness in the lock mechanism. You might also notice the gate swinging open on its own. These issues often start small but can lead to security risks. If you see any of these, it’s a good idea to have a professional check the alignment and hardware before the lock fails completely.
