The Fence Guy - Martinez's Trusted Privacy Fence Installation

Fence post erosion in our area is typically caused by our heavy clay soil expanding and contracting with moisture, which loosens the ground around the post. Over time, this leads to leaning or sinking posts. Our solution involves removing the affected post, digging a wider base, and using concrete or gravel to stabilize it. For decks, we can repair or replace the post to ensure the structure remains secure.

Common signs include soft or rotted wood, visible cracks, loose railings, or boards that feel spongy underfoot. In Martinez, humidity can speed up decay, so it’s important to catch these issues early. We can assess your deck and recommend either targeted repair, like replacing damaged boards, or a full replacement if the structure is compromised.

Cracked pickets often result from moisture absorption and temperature changes, which are common here. We use pressure-treated wood or composite materials that resist warping and splitting. For existing fences, we replace individual damaged pickets and seal the wood to extend its life. For decks, regular cleaning and sealing can prevent cracking, and we can guide you on maintenance or perform it for you.
