Question Answers

How do you repair deck damage common in Oakland homes?

We handle deck repair by first assessing the damage, whether from dry rot, earthquake shifting, or general wear. Our family team replaces compromised boards, reinforces joists, and ensures proper drainage to prevent future issues. We also check for post instability caused by Oakland's dry soil, using concrete footings to secure the structure.

What types of automatic gates do you install, and how do they handle Oakland's weather?

We install automatic gates for residential and commercial properties, including slide and swing models. To cope with Oakland's dry soil and occasional seismic activity, we use heavy-duty posts with deep-set concrete bases and corrosion-resistant motors. We also offer repair services for existing automatic gates, ensuring smooth operation year-round.

Can you help with fence damage from earthquakes or unstable posts due to dry soil?

Yes, this is a common issue in Oakland. For earthquake damage, we reinforce fence panels with flexible brackets and stronger hardware. For post instability from dry soil, we replace or reset posts using wider, deeper holes filled with a high-strength concrete mix that resists cracking. This keeps your fence stable even during dry spells.
