RA Handy Works - San Jose's Best Commercial Fencing

Wildfire exposure can cause fence damage through direct flame contact, intense heat, and ember showers. In San Jose, where dry seasons are common, wooden fences often get charred, weakened, or warped. Embers can lodge in crevices, leading to smoldering and structural compromise, especially in aging fences with dry, cracked wood.

After wildfire season, look for signs like discoloration from smoke or ash, warping or splitting of wood, loose or popped nails, and a brittle texture. If your deck feels spongy or unstable, or if there’s charring on railings or posts, it’s time to call RA Handy Works for a thorough inspection and repair.

RA Handy Works can replace damaged sections with fire-resistant materials like metal or treated wood, and apply fire-retardant coatings. They also re-caulk gaps and secure posts to prevent future ember intrusion. For severely aged fences, full replacement with durable, low-maintenance options is recommended.
