Q&A
How do you fix leaning fence posts common in Tacoma's soil?
Leaning fence posts are common here due to wet soil and freeze-thaw cycles. We assess the post base, often replacing rotted sections, and set new posts with concrete in a wider, deeper hole for stability. We also check for proper drainage around the post to prevent future shifting.
Can you repair an automatic gate that’s sticking or not opening fully?
Yes, automatic gate repair is one of our specialties. We inspect the hinges, motor, and control board for issues, then test the opener and sensors. Most sticking or partial opening problems we see are from alignment or debris in the track, which we can fix on the spot.
What’s the best way to weatherproof a new fence in Tacoma?
For Tacoma’s damp climate, we recommend a high-quality oil-based stain or sealant applied after the wood dries from installation. We also install caps on posts to shed water and ensure proper clearance between boards to prevent moisture trapping. Regular reapplication every 2-3 years keeps the fence looking great.
