Konstantin Shkolnyi: Roofing & Fence Repair in Orinda, CA

Soil erosion around fence posts is often caused by heavy rains, sloping yards, or poor drainage common in Orinda. Over time, this loosens the post, leading to a sagging gate. I address this by resetting posts with concrete or gravel for better drainage and ensuring the gate hinges are properly aligned. If needed, I can also add gutter downspout extensions to divert water away from the fence line.

Look for leaning fence posts, gaps between the post and soil, or a gate that drags or won't latch. In Orinda, you might also notice pooling water near the base of posts after rain. If you see these signs, it's best to act quickly to prevent further damage. I can inspect the posts and gates, then reinforce them or replace damaged sections.

Absolutely. Gutters that are clogged or damaged can cause water to spill directly onto your fence line, accelerating soil erosion and post rot. I offer gutter cleaning, repair, and installation to ensure water is channeled away from your property. In Orinda, this is especially important on sloped lots where water runoff is more aggressive.
