Fencing Company Placerville CA | Call Myers Electric Gate Repair

Our area’s dry, sandy soil shrinks and shifts, leaving fence posts loose over time. This is a common issue, especially after prolonged droughts. The solution involves excavating the post, adding a wider concrete base, and backfilling with compacted gravel to improve drainage and stability.

Signs include fading color, peeling or flaking stain, and a dry, brittle appearance on wood surfaces. In Placerville’s sunny climate, UV rays break down stains within a few years. We recommend annual inspections and reapplication with a high-quality UV-resistant stain to protect your fence.

A gate that sticks or drags often has a sagging hinge, a bent frame, or a misaligned latch. First, check for loose screws or rusted parts. If the hinge is the issue, we replace it with a heavier-duty model. For automatic gates, we also inspect the motor and track alignment to ensure smooth operation.
