Spencer’s Home Services - Berkeley's Best Privacy Fence Installation

Question Answers
How do you handle fence expansion damage common in Berkeley’s damp climate?
Many fences in Berkeley swell and warp due to fog and winter rain. I prevent this by selecting kiln-dried, moisture-resistant wood and leaving proper spacing between boards during installation. For existing fences with expansion damage, I can replace warped sections and apply a weatherproof sealant to help them hold up longer.
Do you offer TV mounting for homes near UC Berkeley or in older buildings?
Yes. I handle TV mounting in all types of homes, including older houses near the Elmwood district or apartments closer to campus. I locate studs, manage tricky walls, and can hide cables for a clean look. Whether it’s a flat-screen or a heavier unit, I’ll make sure it’s secure.
Can you repair a gate that’s sagging or not closing properly?
Yes. Gate misalignment is a common issue in Berkeley due to shifting soil. I’ll inspect the hinges and post, tighten or replace hardware, and if needed, reset the post in concrete. After adjusting, I check that the gate swings smoothly and latches correctly.

Brandon, the owner of Spencer’s Home Services, built the business on reliability and doing the job right the first time.

Now serving Berkeley, CA, Spencer’s Home Services specializes in handyman work, fence and gate installation, TV mounting, and small upgrades that improve both function and appearance. Common local issues like fence expansion damage from wet weather and gate misalignment from shifting soil are typical in neighborhoods near the Berkeley Marina.

Whether you’re in the Elmwood district, near the UC Berkeley campus, or off Solano Avenue, customers appreciate clear communication, punctuality, and results that last. Every job—from furniture assembly and drywall repair to caulking and painting—is treated with respect, and mess is cleaned up before leaving. That’s why most work comes from repeat clients and referrals. For residents in Berkeley, local fencing issues like expansion damage from fog and rain are common. Brandon addresses this by using moisture-resistant lumber and adding expansion gaps during installation. Gate misalignment, often from soil movement near the Claremont hills or along Shattuck Avenue, is corrected by adjusting hinges and resetting posts into stable concrete footings. Work is done at a reasonable pace, and customers are kept informed every step of the way. Serving neighborhoods from North Berkeley to the flats near Aquatic Park, every home gets the same straightforward standard.
