• Gate repair and rebuilding — Sagging gates re-hung, hinges and latches replaced, frames rebuilt square.
• Rail replacement — Split or rotted horizontal rails replaced to restore structural strength.
• Storm damage repair — Fallen sections re-erected, wind-damaged boards replaced, fences re-anchored.
• Fence staining and sealing — Protect your repaired fence from Tacoma’s rain with quality stain or sealant. Pair with our deck repair service for full exterior renewal.

Common Fence Problems We Fix in Tacoma

Our wet Pacific Northwest climate is hard on fences. Constant moisture, winter windstorms, and clay-heavy soils cause predictable failures:

• Rotted posts at ground level — The #1 fence killer in Pierce County. Moisture wicks into posts where they meet soil or concrete.
• Leaning sections — Posts shifting in saturated soil, especially after heavy winter rains.
• Sagging gates — Gravity and use pull gates out of square. We rebuild them with proper bracing.
• Broken pickets and rails — From wind, falling branches, or just age.
• Moss and mildew buildup — We clean and treat fences to prevent accelerated rot.

Our Fence Repair Process

1. Inspection. We walk the fence line, test posts for rot, check gates, and identify all issues — not just the obvious ones.

2. Upfront quote. You get a clear price for the repair. If a full replacement makes more sense, we’ll tell you honestly.

3. Repair. Posts are reset or replaced, boards swapped, gates rebuilt. We use pressure-treated lumber and exterior-rated fasteners built for our climate.

4. Finish and protect. Repairs are stained or sealed to match, and we recommend protection to extend your fence’s life.

5. Cleanup. Old boards, concrete chunks, and debris hauled away. Your yard is left tidy.
