Pat In The Hat General Contractor - Kent's Trusted Commercial Fencing

Loose fence rails in Kent are often caused by moisture from the Pacific Northwest climate, which can swell or rot wooden components, and by ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles. A compromised fence can pull on siding if it’s attached to the house, causing damage. Our team first secures the fence by tightening or replacing damaged rails and hinges. If siding has shifted or cracked, we perform targeted siding repair to restore the home’s exterior integrity, ensuring both fence and siding work together to protect your property.

Broken gate hinges can sometimes signal more than just gate wear. If the gate is attached to a house or post adjacent to siding, sagging or misalignment may pull on the siding, causing gaps, cracks, or loose panels. Other signs include water stains near the hinge mounting points or siding that feels soft or spongy. We inspect both the hinge attachment and the surrounding siding. If siding damage is found, we provide replacement or repair to prevent water intrusion and further structural issues.

We start by assessing the gate and hinge condition. For broken hinges, we remove old hardware, reinforce the gate frame if needed, and install heavy-duty replacements suited for Kent’s weather. If the gate’s weight has pulled on adjacent siding, we repair or replace the affected siding panels to restore a watertight seal. Our approach includes realigning the gate for smooth operation and applying weather-resistant materials to prevent future issues. We serve neighborhoods near Kent’s parks and commercial areas, providing lasting solutions.
