Shawn's Fence Repair | Reliable Fence Installation in Troutdale, OR

Troutdale’s wet winters, combined with clay-heavy soil near the Sandy River, trap moisture against wooden posts. This constant dampness accelerates rot at the ground line. Shawn's Fence Repair solves this by removing rotted sections, installing pressure-treated or cedar posts set in gravel for drainage, and adding concrete collars above grade. We also seal the base to prevent future moisture wicking. This extends your fence's life by years.

Sagging gates in Troutdale often come from waterlogged wood swelling hinges out of alignment, or from frost heave in winter shifting the gate post. We diagnose the root cause: if the post is loose, we re-set it with a proper foundation; if the gate frame is warped, we replace or reinforce it with galvanized hardware and cross-bracing. We also adjust hinges and latches so the gate swings freely without sticking in wet weather.

Absolutely. Wind damage around the Sandy River often rips panels from posts due to shallow foundations or weakened connections. We can replace individual damaged panels, reset or replace bent posts, and add wind braces at problem areas. Where possible, we reuse sound sections. The repaired section will be tied into the existing fence with stronger brackets, matching the style and height of your original fence.
