Sonoma Star Construction - Santa Rosa's Professional Privacy Fence Installation

Yes, absolutely. We frequently handle fence repair on properties near Annadel State Park and other areas that get full sun. The heat here is tough on wood fences, causing warping and cupping. Instead of replacing every panel, we can often remove only the warped sections, match the wood and stain, and reinstall them. This saves you money and keeps your existing structure intact. If the warping is widespread, we can discuss a partial replacement using a more heat-stable wood or composite option.

That's a very common problem in Santa Rosa, especially post-drought. Dry soil can shrink around deck footings, leading to post instability. For deck repair or partial replacement, we first inspect the foundation. If the posts are shifting, we can dig new footings, set galvanized brackets, and attach new posts. If the decking itself has rot or soft spots, we replace just those boards. The key is to make sure the structure is safe and level, accounting for the local soil conditions.

For fence installation in Sonoma County, I recommend using pressure-treated pine or a high-quality redwood that’s been properly kiln-dried. Cedar is common, but it can be more prone to warping in our heat. We also apply a high-grade weatherproofing stain during fence painting or staining to add a layer of protection. The answer depends on your budget and how much maintenance you want to do. If you want it to stay straight longer, we can talk about installing the fence with more posts for better support.
