Question Answers

What causes gate latch failures in Kennewick, and how can you fix them?

Gate latch failures here are often caused by wind stress, rain rusting the mechanism, or post settling that misaligns the latch. Signs include a gate that won’t close or stay shut. Our solution is to inspect and realign the gate, repair or replace the latch, and weatherproof the hardware. We offer manual and automatic gate repair to ensure your gate functions properly year-round.

How can I tell if my fence has mold growth, and what’s the best way to treat it?

Look for dark green or black patches, especially on shaded sides of the fence, and a musty smell. Mold thrives in Kennewick’s damp periods. Our solution is to power wash the fence, apply a mold-killing treatment, then seal it with a weatherproof stain or paint. We provide fence weatherproofing and staining services that prevent mold from returning.

What services do you offer to prevent future gate latch and fence mold problems?

To prevent latch issues, we install heavy-duty latches, reinforce posts, and apply weatherproof coatings. For mold prevention, we recommend annual fence cleaning and a high-quality stain or paint with UV and moisture protection. Our full range includes fence weatherproofing, painting, staining, and automatic gate installation with durable components designed for Kennewick’s climate.
