Santa Susana’s Fence Repair & Gate Experts | Mike’s Fence & Gate

Santa Susana’s dry, rocky soil can shrink and crack, causing fence posts to loosen over time. This leads to leaning or wobbling fences. Mike’s Fence & Gate Repair addresses this by using concrete footings or gravel backfill to secure posts deeply, preventing movement even during dry spells.

Signs of expansion damage include warped boards, bowed sections, or cracks along the wood grain, especially after hot days. If your gate sticks or doesn’t latch properly, that’s another clue. Our team can assess the damage and repair or replace affected boards, often with weatherproofing to prevent future issues.

We provide weatherproofing, staining, and painting to seal wood against moisture and sun. For new installations, we recommend pressure-treated wood or vinyl that resists expansion. We also install gates with proper clearance for seasonal movement. Regular maintenance checks are available to catch issues early.
