Q&A

What causes a gate to become misaligned, and how can you fix it?

Gate misalignment in San Diego often results from shifting soil after heavy rain or drought, loose hinges, or post settlement. We realign the gate by adjusting hinges, resetting posts, or leveling the track for sliding gates. If the issue is chronic, we can reinforce the foundation or install an auto-close hinge system to maintain alignment.

My fence is leaning—could it just need weatherproofing or is it a structural problem?

A leaning fence often starts with rotted or loose posts, especially in areas with clay soil common near Mission Valley. We inspect the posts and footer. If the wood is sound, we recommend weatherproofing and bracing. If posts are compromised, we replace them and add concrete footings. We also offer fence painting or staining to protect against future moisture damage.

Can you convert my existing manual gate to an automatic one, and do you work in older neighborhoods like Kensington?

Yes, we convert manual gates to automatic for homes in Kensington and throughout San Diego. We install a motor, control panel, and safety sensors, making sure the gate opens smoothly even on uneven ground. We also check the gate’s hinges and track alignment first, because an out-of-balance gate can strain the opener.
