FAQs
Why do my metal fence gates keep rusting in San Rafael, and what can I do about it?
The coastal climate in San Rafael exposes metal components to high moisture and salt air, especially in neighborhoods near the bay or San Rafael Creek. This leads to rust formation on hinges, latches, and posts. Our solution includes thorough rust removal, applying rust-inhibiting primer, and then painting or weatherproofing with marine-grade coatings. We also recommend switching to galvanized or stainless steel hardware for long-term durability.
My automatic gate is sagging and scraping the ground. What is causing this, and how can you fix it?
Sagging gates in San Rafael are often caused by rust weakening the hinge points or shifting fence posts due to wet soil. This is common in older homes near the Santa Venetia area. Our repair process involves assessing and repairing the gate’s frame, replacing rusted hinges, and adjusting the gate’s alignment. If the damage is extensive, we may recommend a manual to automatic conversion or a full automatic gate installation to restore smooth operation.
Can you repair a stuck garage door that won’t open after recent rain in San Rafael?
Yes. Stuck garage doors after rain are frequently due to swollen wood tracks, misaligned sensors, or rusted springs. This is a common issue in the Peacock Gap area where humidity is higher. Our technicians will inspect the track, lubricate moving parts, repair or replace the garage door springs, and check the safety sensors. If your opener is also affected, we provide garage door opener replacement or repair as needed.
