Hodges Electric Gate Repair: Fence & Gate Services in Lafayette, CA

Common signs include leaning fence posts, visible gaps at the base where soil has washed away, and loose or wobbly sections after rain. In Lafayette, where the hilly terrain can accelerate runoff, you may also notice water pooling near the posts. If you see these issues, it’s best to address them quickly to prevent further damage or gate misalignment.

Our team first inspects the foundation and soil around the gate posts to assess erosion damage. Solutions include reinforcing the post base with concrete or gravel backfill, realigning the gate hinges, and, if needed, replacing damaged hardware. For automatic gates, we also recalibrate the track and sensors to ensure smooth operation. We tailor repairs to Lafayette’s specific soil conditions.

Yes, we provide weatherproofing for both fences and gates, including sealing or staining wood, applying rust-resistant coatings to metal parts, and installing drainage solutions around posts. For Lafayette properties, we often recommend a gravel base and permeable barriers to manage rainwater and reduce erosion around fence posts. This preventative care extends the life of your fence and gate.
