Wood and Vinyl Fencing Spokane WA | Call Swanson Builders

Many Spokane homes have wood fence posts set directly into concrete, which traps moisture against the wood and causes decay, especially after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Swanson Builders repairs this by replacing rotted posts with pressure-treated lumber and using post anchors or gravel bases that allow water to drain away. If alignment is already off, we reset the posts on solid footings and properly tension the rails. This approach extends fence life significantly and keeps your property looking neat and secure.

Yes, leaning fences and misaligned gates are very common here due to soil settling and seasonal ground heaving. When fence posts start shifting, it pulls the entire panel out of plumb. Swanson Builders addresses this by assessing each post individually. We often dig out loose posts, replace them, and reinforce corners with diagonal bracing. For gates, we adjust or replace hinges and latches so they swing freely. All work is done with Spokane’s soil conditions in mind so the fix lasts.
