Ken's Home Service - Port Orchard's Experienced Commercial Fencing

The main cause of gate latch failures in our area is the constant moisture and humidity, which can rust metal components or cause wooden gates to swell and bind. A common sign is a latch that sticks, won't close fully, or is difficult to open. Ken's Home Service can diagnose the issue, repair or replace the latch, and adjust the gate alignment. We often recommend stainless steel or weather-resistant latches, and can seal the wood to prevent future swelling.

Early signs include soft or spongy spots on the wood, discoloration near the ground, or a musty smell. If left untreated, the rot spreads and weakens the fence. Ken's Home Service can repair or replace rotted sections, and we recommend sealing or staining the fence with a high-quality, moisture-resistant product. Regular maintenance and ensuring proper drainage around fence posts also help prevent future rot. For severely damaged fences, we can install a new, rot-resistant wood or composite fence.

We start by cleaning the fence thoroughly to remove dirt, mildew, and old peeling paint. After it dries, we apply a high-quality exterior stain or paint specifically designed for our wet climate. This creates a protective barrier against moisture, reducing the risk of rot and extending the life of your fence. We use proper techniques to ensure even coverage and long-lasting results, and we can also repair any damaged boards before we begin. Whether it's a full stain job or a fresh coat of paint, Ken's has you covered.
