Santos's Carpentry | Local Residential Fencing in Hayward, CA

Hayward’s dry soil can shrink and crack, causing fence posts to lose grip and lean over time. This is a common sign of post instability. Santos’s Carpentry solves this by removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it in concrete with gravel drainage to prevent moisture buildup. We also use pressure-treated lumber or metal posts for added durability, ensuring your fence stays straight and secure for years.

After an earthquake, look for cracks in the wood or concrete, shifted posts, or gates that no longer close properly. Even small shifts can lead to bigger problems. Santos’s Carpentry assesses the damage and reinforces the fence by adding metal brackets, flexible connectors, and deeper footings to absorb future shock. We also repair or replace damaged sections, matching the existing style to maintain your property’s look.

Absolutely. Weatherproofing is key to extending your fence’s life in Hayward’s climate. We apply high-quality sealants, stains, or paints that repel moisture and reduce cracking from dry heat. Our process includes cleaning the surface, repairing any rot or damage, and applying a protective coat. For new fences, we can recommend materials like cedar or treated pine that naturally resist warping in dry soil.
