Iron Craft - Tulare's Professional Fence Contractors

Tulare's intense summer heat and direct sunlight cause the moisture in wood to evaporate unevenly. This leads to the boards twisting, cupping, or bowing. It’s a very common issue here, which is why many homeowners eventually consider switching to materials like wrought iron or steel, which won't warp at all from the heat.

After an earthquake, look for posts that are leaning or have shifted visibly out of alignment. You might also see cracks in the concrete around the post bases, or sections of the fence that are no longer level. Even a small shift in the ground can compromise a fence's stability, so it's important to have it checked.

We start with a thorough inspection. For warped wood, we can often reinforce the structure or replace affected sections, but we'll also honestly discuss long-term options like installing non-warping metal panels. For earthquake damage, we'll re-set leaning posts, repair or replace cracked concrete footings, and realign gates to swing properly again.
