Common Questions
What causes fence posts to lean or shift after winter in Everett?
Frost heave is a primary cause. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can push posts out of alignment, especially if they weren't set deep enough or with proper drainage. Only Fence & Repair addresses this by excavating, resetting posts below the frost line, and adding gravel for stability.
How can I tell if my fence needs repair versus replacement?
Look for signs like widespread rot, loose or missing boards, or posts that wobble easily. If more than 30% of the fence is compromised, replacement may be more cost-effective. For localized damage, such as a single broken section or a leaning gate, repair is often a smart, budget-friendly solution. Our team in Everett can inspect and advise.
What's the best way to prevent wood fence damage from Everett's damp climate?
Regular sealing or staining every 2-3 years helps repel moisture. Also, ensure there's a gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground to prevent rot. For high-moisture areas, consider pressure-treated wood or vinyl. Only Fence & Repair can recommend and install materials suited to local conditions.
