Pelaez Fencing: Local Wood and Vinyl Fencing Serving Riverside, CA 92509

Dry, sandy soil common in Riverside can shrink and shift, causing fence posts to lose support over time. This often happens after long droughts, when the ground becomes loose around the base. Pelaez Fencing solves this by excavating the old post holes, adding concrete footings, and setting new posts that stay secure even as the soil moves. We check for proper drainage to prevent future instability.

High temperatures and dust in Riverside can cause gate locks to expand slightly or get clogged with debris, making them stiff or non-functional. Over time, this can lead to misalignment and failure. Pelaez Fencing diagnoses the issue by inspecting the locking mechanism and hinges, then lubricating or replacing worn parts. If needed, we install weather-resistant locks that handle local conditions better.

Latch issues often trace back to the gate sagging or the post shifting in dry conditions. Pelaez Fencing first checks the hinges and post alignment. We tighten or replace hardware, and if the ground has settled, we adjust the gate frame or re-set the post. After leveling and securing everything, we test the latch thoroughly so it closes correctly every time.
