Sound Welds | Expert Fence Builders in Chico, CA

Many Chico properties experience fence post movement due to soil shifts and the area's occasional seismic activity. At Sound Welds, Allen addresses this by reinforcing posts with deeper footings, using galvanized or thicker-gauge steel, and welding cross-braces into the frame. For existing fences, we can re-set and weld loose posts back into place, often adding concrete collars for extra stability. This approach helps your fence stay straight and secure through the region's ground movements.

Absolutely. We create custom handrails, driveway gates, and manual gates tailored to your specific measurements and style preferences. Whether you need a simple handrail for your front steps or an ornate driveway gate with artistic elements, Allen can fabricate it from scratch. We work with you to choose the right metal, finish, and design—including decorative scrollwork or custom cutouts—so your gate or rail complements your home.

Yes. Chico experiences occasional earthquakes that can knock fences out of alignment, crack welds, or cause gates to sag. Sound Welds inspects the damage, re-welds broken joints, re-aligns gate hinges, and reinforces weak points. If the fence posts have shifted, we can stabilize them and repair the panels. For automatic gates, we also check the track and motor mounts. Our goal is to make your fence or gate as resilient as possible against future ground movement.
