Professional Residential Fencing in Vancouver, WA 98662 - My5Star Construction

The heavy rainfall and wet soil in the Pacific Northwest are the main culprits. Over time, water saturates the ground around wooden or steel posts, especially if they aren't set in concrete. This leads to rot in wood and rust in metal posts. My5Star Construction recommends setting posts in a concrete base with proper drainage to prevent premature erosion.

Look for vines climbing onto the fence, bushes pushing against the boards, or roots lifting the posts. Common signs include warped or cracked panels, leaning sections, and difficulty opening gates. If you see moss or moisture trapped against the wood by plants, that's a red flag. My5Star Construction can trim back growth and reinforce the fence to prevent further damage.

Yes, in many cases we can. If the post is still structurally sound, we can excavate around it, add a concrete collar, and reset it properly. If the post is rotted or rusted, we'll replace just that post and secure it with fresh concrete. My5Star Construction works to save as much of your existing fence as possible, keeping repairs cost-effective.
