Western General Construction - Washougal's Reliable Fencing Company

In Washougal, heavy rain and clay-heavy soil often cause fence posts to shift or lean over time. Signs include visible tilting, gaps at the bottom, or sagging gates. We can typically repair leaning posts by resetting them in fresh concrete or replacing rotted sections. For severe cases, a full post replacement may be necessary. If the fence is otherwise sound, we reinforce the post to prevent future movement.

Rusting hinges and latches are common here due to humidity and rain. We use galvanized or stainless steel hardware for new installations and replacements. For existing rusty hardware, we clean the rust, apply a rust-inhibiting primer, and paint or replace damaged pieces. Regular weatherproofing of the wood also helps reduce moisture contact with metal parts.

It depends on the extent of damage. If only a few boards or one section is loose or rotted, repair is usually cost-effective. However, if multiple posts are leaning, hardware is failing, or there is widespread rot, replacement may be more reliable in the long run. We assess the fence during a free estimate and provide options that fit your budget and timeline.
