WestCoast Fence Pros - Santa Paula's Professional Fence Contractors

Earthquakes are a real concern in Santa Paula. We reinforce fence posts with flexible metal brackets and deeper concrete footings to allow slight movement without cracking. For panels, we use screws instead of nails and leave small expansion gaps. We also recommend periodic inspections after any noticeable tremor. This approach helps keep wooden and chain-link fences standing longer.

For gates that get a lot of sun and occasional rain, we use a penetrating oil-based stain with UV blockers. It soaks into the wood and protects from cracking and fading. We also apply a marine-grade sealant around hardware areas. We offer painting and staining as part of our service, and we can match existing colors if you prefer.

First, we grind off the rust and treat the metal with a converter that stops corrosion. For small spots, we patch and repaint with a galvanized coating. For larger sections, we replace the damaged mesh and re-tighten the line. We also check the tension and posts to make sure the whole fence stays secure. Regular weatherproofing can prevent rust from coming back.
