Expert Commercial Fencing in Sebastopol, CA 95472 - Heritage Fence Builders

In Sebastopol, gate lock failures are often caused by moisture from fog and rain, which can rust internal components or cause wooden gates to swell, misaligning the latch. Heritage Fence Builders can repair or replace the lock mechanism, and if the gate has warped, we'll adjust or replace the gate to ensure proper alignment. We also offer weatherproofing treatments to prevent future moisture damage.

Fence expansion damage is a common sign of seasonal humidity changes in Sebastopol. Wood naturally absorbs moisture, causing it to swell and crack if not properly sealed. This can lead to structural weakness over time. Heritage Fence Builders can assess the damage, replace affected boards, and apply a high-quality stain or sealer to protect against future expansion and contraction, extending the life of your fence.

Yes, weatherproofing is a key service we offer for both new and existing fences. For existing fences, we clean the surface, apply a penetrating wood sealer or stain, and check for any loose boards or hardware. This helps minimize moisture absorption, reducing the risk of expansion damage and keeping gate components dry and functional. We recommend this service annually, especially before the rainy season in Sebastopol.
