Mendoza Maintenance - Watsonville's Reliable Residential Fencing

Fence posts often shift due to the region's clay-rich soils, which expand and contract with moisture changes, and from ground movement during earthquakes. Over time, this loosens the soil around the post, causing it to tilt or sink. Mendoza Maintenance can assess the soil conditions and reinforce or replace posts to restore stability.

Look for visible gaps between fence panels, cracked or splintered wood, posts that are no longer vertical, or gates that stick or won't latch. Even minor quakes can loosen hardware or shift concrete footings. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection from Mendoza Maintenance can identify hidden damage and prevent further issues.

We start with a thorough inspection to assess post alignment, footing integrity, and panel damage. Solutions include re-setting posts with deeper concrete footings, adding metal brackets for reinforcement, replacing broken sections, and adjusting gates. For homes near Watsonville's older neighborhoods, we also recommend seismic-resistant materials to minimize future movement.
