Starz unique | Reliable Residential Fencing in Moses Lake, WA

Warping often happens because of moisture changes and intense sun exposure common in the Moses Lake area. When fence boards absorb moisture and then dry out quickly, they can twist or bow. At Starz Unique, we assess the extent of the warping. For mild cases, we can often sand and refinish the boards, or reinforce them. If the boards are severely warped, we recommend replacing them with properly dried, treated lumber and adding weatherproofing to prevent future issues.

Leaning fences are a common sight in neighborhoods like Peninsula Shores due to freeze-thaw cycles that shift the soil. Yes, we can repair that. The solution depends on how bad the lean is. For a minor tilt, we can often re-set the post in the existing hole with new concrete. For a more significant alignment problem, we may need to pull the post and set a new one deeper into the ground, ensuring it is below the frost line. We always check the entire fence line to make sure other posts are stable.

The key is using a high-quality wood sealer or stain that blocks moisture while allowing the wood to breathe. We start by cleaning the fence and letting it dry completely. Then we apply a generous coat of a penetrating sealer or a solid-body stain, depending on your preference. This helps prevent water from soaking in and causing rot or warping. For fences near the lake or in more exposed areas, we might recommend an extra coat or a film-forming sealant for maximum protection. Annual inspection helps catch small issues early.
