Frequently Asked Questions

What causes fence post instability in Olivehurst's dry soil?

In Olivehurst, the dry soil common in our area can shrink and pull away from fence posts over time, leading to wobbling or leaning. This is a sign that the post base has lost its grip. Shell Family Services solves this by excavating around the post, adding a concrete footer that extends below the frost line, and backfilling with compacted gravel to ensure long-term stability.

How can I tell if my fence stain is deteriorating due to local weather?

Look for peeling, fading, or blotchy patches on your fence, especially after a hot summer or rainy winter in Olivehurst. This often happens when the stain wasn't designed for our climate. Our painters recommend a high-quality, UV-resistant stain and proper surface prep—cleaning and sanding—to restore and protect your fence for years.

Can a general contractor help with both fence repair and repainting in one project?

Absolutely. Shell Family Services coordinates fence post stabilization and staining as a single project, saving you time and hassle. First, we secure any loose posts with concrete anchors, then apply a durable, weather-resistant stain that complements your home. This integrated approach ensures your fence stands strong and looks great, even in Olivehurst's challenging conditions.
