Stevens Swing Gate Repair & Service | Expert Fence Contractors in Moorpark, CA

Leaning fences are common in Moorpark because seasonal rain softens the soil, causing fence posts to shift. Our solution involves resetting the posts with fresh concrete or installing metal post anchors for extra stability. If the frame is rotting, we'll replace damaged sections. A quick sign is a gate that drags on the ground or a noticeable tilt in the panels.

Moorpark's dry heat and occasional moisture create a perfect environment for chain link corrosion, especially if the galvanized coating wears thin. We repair rusted sections by cutting out affected areas and retensioning the fabric. For prevention, we offer weatherproofing services like applying a rust-inhibiting paint or coating. If the whole fence is failing, a new installation with a heavier galvanized gauge will last longer.

Rain often causes electrical shorts in the motor or sensor misalignment, especially if the gate wasn't weatherproofed. We first test the wiring and clean the sensors—that solves many issues. If the motor is seized from moisture, we can rebuild it or install a new, weather-resistant unit. We also seal conduit connections to prevent future problems. A full replacement is only needed if the frame is severely rusted or damaged beyond repair.
