Northern California Fence - Chico's Expert Privacy Fence Installation

Chico's weather cycles between heavy winter rains and hot, dry summers. Wood naturally absorbs moisture and expands, then shrinks as it dries. This constant movement can loosen hardware, cause warping, and lead to sagging gates. Northern California Fence addresses this by using proper post-setting techniques and allowing for seasonal movement in the design, helping your fence remain stable through the valley's temperature swings.

Look for boards that are bulging, splitting at the ends, or pulling away from rails. You might also see a gate that drags on the ground or won't latch properly. Northern California Fence can often replace individual damaged pickets, adjust hardware, or re-tension the framework rather than tearing out the entire fence. They'll inspect your specific situation and recommend a targeted repair when possible.

A sagging gate is usually a sign that the gate frame or hinge posts have shifted. Simply tightening hinges won't fix the underlying issue. Northern California Fence will first check if the post is still firm in the ground. Then they can install a heavy-duty anti-sag kit, add a wheel on the latch side, or rebuild the gate with sturdier cross-bracing. They'll match the solution to your gate's weight and exposure to Chico's sun and rain.
