PNW Legacy Fencing - Lake Stevens's Reliable Fence Installation

The Pacific Northwest climate—with frequent rain, high humidity, and intense UV rays in summer—accelerates the breakdown of fence stains. Moisture seeps into the wood, causing peeling and fading, while sunlight degrades the protective coating. This is especially common near Lake Stevens, where lake breezes bring extra dampness.

Look for visible tilts or gaps between the fence and the ground. Check if the top rail is no longer level, or if the gate drags or sticks. Walk along your fence line and spot any posts that appear out of alignment. If you notice these signs, your posts may be shifting due to soil erosion or rot.

For minor leans, we can often brace the post and re-set it with concrete. If the post is rotted, we replace it entirely with a new pressure-treated post set deep in concrete. Our fence weatherproofing and staining services then protect the wood from future moisture damage, preventing recurrence. We also install manual gates with sturdy posts to withstand heavy use.
