Local Fencing Company in Tigard, OR 97224 - Howell Fence Co

Tigard’s clay-heavy soil and frequent rain often lead to soil expansion and contraction, which can loosen fence post footings over time. This causes posts to lean, especially in older fences. Howell Fence Co resolves this by digging out the compromised post, replacing or resetting it with concrete footings that extend below the frost line, ensuring long-term stability. They also treat the wood to resist moisture, helping prevent future movement.

Sagging gates are usually due to loose hinges, a warped frame, or posts that have shifted in wet soil. In Tigard’s climate, hinge screws can corrode or pull free from the wood. Howell Fence Co will inspect the entire gate, tighten or replace hardware, and reinforce the frame with diagonal bracing if needed. They also check the post alignment and reset it if necessary, so your gate swings freely and latches securely again.

Chain-link fences in Tigard are prone to rust, especially in damp areas near the Tualatin River. Howell Fence Co recommends replacing rusted sections with galvanized or vinyl-coated chain-link that resists corrosion. For minor rust spots, they can treat and recoat the affected areas. They also install new tension bands and top rails to restore fence strength, giving your property a clean, secure perimeter that lasts for years.
