Tonybrugar - San Jose's Expert Privacy Fence Installation

The primary cause is prolonged exposure to intense sun and heat, which dries out the wood unevenly. This causes boards to cup or twist. Signs include bowing, gaps between pickets, or a wavy top line. We resolve this by replacing badly warped boards, re-bracing the frame with kiln-dried lumber, and then applying a high-quality stain or sealant that blocks UV rays. For existing fences that aren't yet warped, we recommend a protective stain coat to even out moisture absorption and prevent future cupping.

During a seismic event, ground shifting can cause fence posts to lean, break, or pull away from the house. Gates often sag or bind because the frame has twisted. Signs: a gate that won't latch, a fence that leans more than a few degrees, or cracked concrete around post bases. We fix this by resetting posts with new concrete footings (often adding rebar for extra strength), replacing cracked rails, and adjusting gate hinges and latches. We can also reinforce the entire run with metal brackets to reduce future movement.

Yes. We fabricate custom steel brackets, gate hinges, post collars, and even entire wrought-iron gates at our San Jose shop. If an old ornamental gate has a broken scroll or a missing section, we can weld a matching replacement. For chain-link fences damaged by vehicles or weather, we cut and install new tubing and fabric. We work with both residential and commercial clients. Give us a call if you need a strong, code-compliant metal solution that fits your existing fence line.
