Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence posts to lean in Portland's wet soil?

Portland's heavy clay soil holds moisture, which can loosen the concrete footing over time. This is especially common after prolonged rain or freeze-thaw cycles. Our solution is to reset posts with deeper footings or replace rotted sections, then reinforce with proper drainage and gravel.

How can I tell if my deck needs repair or replacement?

Signs include soft or spongy wood, visible rot, loose railings, or nails popping up. If only a few boards are damaged, repair may suffice. But if structural beams or joists are compromised, replacement is safer. We inspect thoroughly and recommend the most cost-effective option.

Does staining or weatherproofing really help against Oregon rain?

Absolutely. A high-quality stain with UV and water repellent protection can significantly extend the life of your fence or deck. We use products designed for the Pacific Northwest’s damp climate, applied in dry weather to ensure proper adhesion. Regular staining every 2-3 years is recommended.
