Best Fence Installation in Los Angeles, CA 90015 - Marks Wooden Fences

Leaning fences in LA are often due to soil erosion from seasonal rains or improper post installation. The shifting clay-heavy soil loosens the concrete footing. We solve this by removing the post, re-digging to a depth below the frost line (typically 24-36 inches), adding gravel for drainage, and setting the post in new concrete. For severe cases, we use metal post anchors or reinforce with steel brackets. Our service includes fence repair and installation to ensure straight, sturdy posts for years.

Rust on metal parts like hinges or latches is common near the coast due to salt air and humidity. First signs are orange discoloration or flaking. We recommend using galvanized or stainless steel hardware during installation. For existing rust, we manually remove it with a wire brush, apply a rust converter, then paint with a marine-grade enamel. Our weatherproofing service includes sealing metal components and applying UV-resistant coatings. Regular maintenance every 2-3 years keeps rust at bay.

Yes, we repair automatic gates, including sliding and swing types. A common issue is a gate that won't close fully or stops mid-cycle. This can be caused by sensor misalignment, worn gears, or a damaged track. We first diagnose the problem (sensors, motor, control board). Then we adjust sensors, lubricate or replace moving parts, and test cycle limits. Our automatic gate repair service covers both electrical and mechanical fixes. When needed, we recommend modernizing with battery backup for power outages.
