Fence Installation Compton CA | Call Leon Iron Works

After a wildfire, look for warping, discoloration, or flaking paint on your gate or fence. The intense heat can weaken welds and cause galvanized coatings to peel. If you notice rust forming quickly or sections that no longer align properly, that's a sign the metal has been compromised. Leon Iron Works can inspect the affected area and recommend repairs or replacements to restore security and curb appeal.

Earthquakes can shift fence posts, misalign gate tracks, or cause hinges to bend. This often leads to a gate that drags, won't close, or squeaks. If your automatic gate is acting up after a quake, internal components like limit switches or motors may also be jarred out of adjustment. Our team at Leon Iron Works will realign tracks, reset posts, or repair automatic gate mechanisms to get your gate working safely again.

A combination of heavy-duty metal fabrication and proper weatherproofing works best. We recommend installing steel posts set in deep concrete footings to resist ground movement, and using fire-resistant coatings like galvanized or powder-coated finishes. Leon Iron Works can also add expansion joints at strategic points to allow the fence to flex during an earthquake without breaking. Regular weatherproofing maintenance, such as repainting and sealing, further extends the fence's life.
