Salinas, CA 93901
Common Questions
How do you prevent soil erosion from affecting my fence posts in Salinas?
Salinas soil can shift after rain, causing fence posts to lean. We set posts deep—at least 24 inches—and use concrete footings with gravel at the base for drainage. This keeps posts stable even during wet seasons, so your fence stays straight and secure.
Can you repair an automatic gate that stopped working?
Yes, we repair automatic gates of all brands. Common issues include motor failures, sensor misalignment, or wiring problems. We diagnose the issue on-site and often fix it the same day. We also offer manual gate repair for older or simpler systems.
What's the best way to protect my fence from fading or staining in Salinas?
Salinas gets strong sun, so we recommend a high-quality UV-resistant stain or paint. For wood fences, we apply a sealant after installation to lock out moisture. If your fence is already discolored, we can power wash and re-stain it to restore its original look.
