OnPoint Fencing and Decking: Expert Fence Contractors Serving Salem, OR 97317

Salem gets significant rainfall from October through March, which can cause wood fences to rot, warp, or grow moss. We seal, stain, or paint fence boards using moisture-resistant coatings and pressure-treated lumber. We also check post anchors and gravel drainage at the base to prevent ground-level moisture damage. For automatic gates near the floodplain by the Willamette River, we use corrosion-resistant hardware. The goal is to keep your fence standing straight and looking good through the wet season and the summer dry spells.

A standard custom deck installation from design through final inspection usually takes two to four weeks, depending on size, complexity, and weather. We start with a free quote and a discussion of your ideal layout near landmarks like Willamette University or the Keizer area. Permitting in Marion County can add a few days, but we handle that paperwork. After that, we schedule framing, decking, railing, and final staining or weatherproofing. We work around Salem's rainy season to avoid delays and keep your project on track.

Yes. Sagging or sticking gates are common in Salem due to soil shifting and moisture swelling the wood. We inspect hinges, latch alignment, and post stability. For manual gates, we tighten hardware, replace worn parts, or reset the post. For automatic gate repair, we check the motor, sensors, and weather seals. We serve neighborhoods from Candalaria to Highland, so we can typically assess and fix a gate in one to two visits.
