Common Questions
How do you repair a wooden fence that has loose boards or rotted posts in Chico?
We start by inspecting the fence line to identify damaged boards and posts. For loose boards, we re-nail or screw them securely. For rotted posts, we dig out the old post, set a new pressure-treated or rot-resistant post in concrete, and attach the surrounding fence sections. We make sure the repair blends in with the existing fence and is level. This service is common for homeowners near areas like the Esplanade or in the Barber neighborhood.
What causes gate lock failures, and can you fix them for Chico homeowners?
Gate locks often fail due to weather exposure, misalignment, or worn-out components. In Chico's climate, heat can warp metal parts and dry out lubricants. We can repair or replace manual gate locks, latch systems, and even upgrade to keyless entry for automatic gates. Our team will realign the gate and adjust the lock mechanism so it opens and closes smoothly. We've handled this for many homes near Lindo Channel and along the avenues.
Do you offer fence staining or painting services that protect against Chico's sun and occasional rain?
Yes, we do. We use high-quality stains and paints designed for exterior wood, which resist fading from the valley sun and repel moisture during winter rains. We properly clean the fence, let it dry, and apply an even coat. For homeowners in the California Park area or near Bidwell Park, this can help preserve the fence's look and prevent rot. We also offer weatherproofing as an additional service.
