RFG Railings Fence Gates Repairs | Expert Fencing Company in Santa Monica, CA

Leaning fences in Santa Monica are typically caused by strong coastal winds, soil erosion, and wood rot at the base of the posts. The constant moisture and salt air can weaken wooden posts over time, causing them to shift. RFG fixes this by removing the old, rotted posts, setting new pressure-treated or metal posts in concrete, and realigning the fence panels. We also check for proper drainage around the post holes to prevent future leaning.

Santa Monica’s intense sun can cause vinyl fencing to become brittle, fade, or develop hairline cracks, especially on south-facing panels. Over time, UV rays break down the plasticizers in the vinyl, making it less flexible and more prone to snapping. RFG solves this by replacing damaged sections with high-quality, UV-stabilized vinyl that resists fading and cracking. We can also apply a UV-protective coating to extend the life of your existing fence.

Yes, absolutely. A gate that sags or sticks is often a sign that its supporting fence post is leaning or has shifted in the ground. In Santa Monica, this is common after heavy rain or high winds. RFG will first assess the post’s condition. If it’s leaning, we’ll dig out the post, set it plumb with fresh concrete, and adjust the gate hinges and latch. If the post is rotted, we’ll replace it entirely. The result is a gate that swings freely and latches securely.
